For 15 years, economist Mark Skousen has run “Freedom Fest,” a gathering of thousands of conservatives, libertarians, and contrarians. Several of us from CTUP will be participating in the conference on July 12 to 15 in Memphis.

Jerry Bowyer, the financial columnist for Townhall.com says it “has become the largest and most influential gathering of thinkers devoted to promoting freedom in all its forms.”

Among the list of 250 speakers you can find at freedomfest.com are TV cable star Mike Rowe, (“Dirty Jobs”), and CTUP cofounders Steve Forbes and Stephen Moore.

Mike Rowe has done an entertaining video discussing why he’s coming to Freedom Fest. You can watch it here.
