Details

As rising costs strain households across income levels, affordability has emerged as one of the most urgent economic challenges. This discussion will unpack the root causes behind increasing prices in housing, healthcare, education, and everyday essentials, while examining competing solutions offered by policymakers. This discussion will be hosted by Adam Smith Vice President, Ben Litton. 

This will be an OFF THE RECORD, RESPECTFUL and HONEST conversation. The only two requirements are that you have an OPEN MIND and an OPINION. This will be an active conversation and everyone will be expected to contribute to the discussion/debate. Opposing views are encouraged. Please do not come if you feel uncomfortable sharing your opinion or being exposed to perspectives you disagree with.

Light dinner and refreshments will be served. BYOB also welcome.
Dress Casual (jeans ok)
Food Provided (Group Dinner will be provided (BYOB))
