Presentations take place in a theater seating all attendees, as well as in small breakout groups. Scholarships are provided to more than a hundred educators each year. Speakers are introduced by students. The three-day Festival is preceded by the Student Ideas Festival, which enables more than a thousand middle and high school students to be inspired by some of the best minds of our time. Additionally, Festival 2 Schools takes speakers to schools throughout the county during the academic year to speak to student assemblies.The goal of the organization is to provide intellectually stimulating settings and opportunities for participation of all ages to learn, discuss, and generate new ideas while honoring a literary past and growing a literary future.
