"The chance to think through complex philosophical topics along the everlasting themes of humanity in a calm environment, was a unique experience. What made it even more special, was the open-mindedness and humour of the other participants in the discussions. To create such an open atmosphere is a great achievement."

"My time at the Aspen Seminar was unique experience. Whilst being intellectually challenging the atmosphere was at the same time extremely stimulating.

I can truly recommend Aspen to those interested in broadening their minds."

"The Aspen Leadership Seminar changed the way I think about myself as a leader by helping me identify my core values and beliefs while putting them in intellectual and philosophical context. I met incredible people from all walks of life, people I otherwise would not have come into contact with and certainly not at a level so deep and collaborative. The Seminar provided a concentrated, guided opportunity to focus on and articulate what's truly important to me as a global citizen and to learn from other leaders who are asking themselves the same challenging questions."

"As a Commission official, the Aspen Seminar in Berlin was in full sync with the foundation of our European project based on shared values, enlightening ideas and most of all true leadership. My encounters and dialogues with all participants were truly fantastic."
