Get your Idea Fest 2025 tickets now!

We’ve announced many of this year’s top speakers for the week of Sept. 8-13, including Stacey Abrams of Georgia (left), as well as Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Single-day tickets are available for those sessions and tickets are almost sold out to see Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Eugene Robinson at our Celebration of Journalism on Sept. 11. Tickets for that session include admission to all other festival events. A separate 5-day pass without the Celebration is available too.
