The Sanders Institute Gathering will convene 250 leading progressive minds to envision – and to actualize – a better future for our country and the world. Reaching across generations and embracing the inherent synergies across the progressive platform, participants will discuss and debate our nation’s most pressing issues and offer innovative solutions.



Our inaugural conference will bring together national and international progressive thought leaders, including elected officials, organizers, academics, economists, writers, artists and emerging leaders from a full spectrum of experience and expertise. The selection of topics, speakers and featured discussions will ensure that the conference is insightful, thought-provoking and relevant.
