Hillary was among a host of speakers from across our broad political spectrum today at The Atlantic Festival.
In its tenth year, Washington Ideas becomes The Atlantic Festival. Our new name pays homage to 161 years of award-winning journalism, analysis and storytelling, and captures the expansive nature of the event.
Through in-depth interviews with some of today’s biggest thinkers and leaders in technology, politics, business and the arts, we will illuminate new ideas, and grapple with the most consequential issues of our time.
From October 2 to 4, 2018, The Atlantic Festival will take over multiple blocks of Washington, D.C.’s Penn Quarter. Anchored by our “Ideas Stage” at Sidney Harman Hall, our downtown campus will feature book talks, networking receptions, breakout lunches, and much more.

Senate testimony last week, President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee
Brett Kavanaugh denounced the sexual-assault and misconduct allegations
against him as a “political hit” and part of a left-wing conspiracy
orchestrated “on behalf of the Clintons.” On Tuesday, in an interview
with Atlantic editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg at The Atlantic Festival in Washington, D.C., Hillary Clinton offered her first public response
to Kavanaugh’s claims. She also warned about the ongoing threat to U.S.
election security posed by Russia, discussed whether she would classify
President Trump as a racist, and described what she sees as existing
threats to democracy.
