In its tenth year, the Ideas Stage anchored The Atlantic Festival. On October 2nd, 3rd and 4th, convened people driving the conversation — the provocative thinkers, the stirring community activists and the pivotal political leaders. For three days, we grappled with the most consequential debates of our time.
