More than twenty well known authors, thinkers, innovators and musicians present in a variety of venues over a three-day weekend. Presentations take place in a theater seating all attendees, as well as in small breakout groups. Scholarships are provided to educators each year. Speakers are introduced by students. The three-day Festival is preceded by the Student Ideas Festival, which enables 1300 Monterey County middle and high school students to be inspired in person by some of the best minds of our time. Additionally, the Student Ideas Festival is live-streamed to schools throughout the County, as well as recorded and distributed for later use in the classroom.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.Expenses $487,344
