For the first time in its 17-year history, the Atlantic Festival, the flagship event of Atlantic Magazine is coming to New York City — and it’s making its home right here in Lower Manhattan. Anchored at PAC NYC (251 Fulton St.) from September 18 to 20, the landmark three-day event will bring together more than 100 dynamic voices, including influential business and tech leaders, prominent cultural and media figures and key U.S. and global political thinkers. The festival also features a rich mix of programming, from film screenings and live performances to book talks and timely conversations that reflect the pressing issues of our time.
While satellite events will take place across the city, the centerpiece of the festival is PAC NYC, which will host the majority of the programming — and some serious star power. The event kicks off with an Ideas Session featuring high-profile speakers like H.R. McMaster, Jennifer Doudna and Mark Cuban. Throughout the three-day festival, attendees can also look forward to appearances by David Letterman, Ethan Hawke and many other influential voices across politics, science, business and the arts.
Just steps away, at McNally Jackson Books in the Seaport (4 Fulton St.), a special series of literary events will feature acclaimed authors including Walter Mosley and Susan Orlean. With an array of compelling conversations and cultural programming packed into just three days, now’s the time to secure your tickets and experience the festival up close.
