The American Enterprise Institute is pleased to announce the inaugural Irving Kristol Virtual Lecture and Summit — a fully virtual event that will showcase the vitality of AEI's scholarship and celebrate the ideals of free enterprise and opportunity for all. The 2020 Irving Kristol Award recipient, Nicholas Eberstadt, will deliver the keynote lecture, and the summit will feature conversations with AEI scholars and highlight their important contributions to the policy debates. This event will convene the AEI community to recognize Eberstadt's boundary-pushing scholarship and explore how we can ensure that all people share the benefits of the free enterprise system.
