A GATHERING OF MINDS.

Arcata Summits are multi-day gatherings dedicated to exploring consequential and enduring ideas. Convening leaders and learners, thinkers and practitioners, creatives and craftsmen, Summits are organized around a timely (or timeless) theme in the hope of encouraging deep engagement across a variety of disciplines and perspectives.

The ultimate aim of the Summit is action. Participants are invited to not just be present as passive consumers of information, but active contributors to the conversation, and actualizers of good ideas in their own communities.

Part conference, part festival, and part salon, the Summit facilitates the good-faith exploration of perennial ideas and the organic development of relationships.

Returning from the Summit, guests will bear with them new knowledge, new connections, and a better perspective on the challenges and opportunities of our time.

Our First Annual Summit, to be held in Bozeman, Montana in the fall of 2026, will address “Prospects for American Renewal”. The Arcata team is laying the groundwork for our 2027 summit to be held in Chicago.
