In June 1947, a small circle of physicists met on this ground and, in three days of open argument, remade the modern world. In August 2026, the table is set again.

Partners In Kind

THE WISH LIST

Some gifts aren't written on a check. The conference seeks two private aviation partners, ground transportation to the ferry, lodging partners for our team, and a sponsor lodging concierge so joining us doesn't cost a second fortune. Every in-kind partner is honored at the sponsorship tier their gift is worth — same stage, same gratitude.

Since 2008, the Free & Equal Elections Foundation has opened America's stages to every voice. United We Stand carries that work forward — and on the island where great minds once began the world over again, your name can hold the door open.
