The
Manhattan Institute has been an important force in shaping American political
culture. By supporting and publicizing research on our era's most challenging
public policy issues: taxes, welfare, crime, the legal system, urban life,
race, education, and many other topics, we have won new respect for market-oriented
policies and helped make reform a reality.
The
Manhattan Institute regularly hosts forums in New York City and Washington,
DC for policy makers, business people, researchers and journalists. The
following is a listing of recent Manhattan Institute conferences and luncheons.
Select events are transcribed or video taped and those are available to
the general public here on the website.
Individuals who support the Institute are invited to attend MI events. Manhattan Institute events
are invite-only. For more information on how to attend an MI event,
