In a rapidly changing world, debating ideas matters more than ever. The fifteenth Battle of Ideas will provide a unique forum to discuss the big issues of our time. Join us for this year’s festival on 2 & 3 November. With over 450 speakers and 100+ debates, we can promise you two days of high-level, thought-provoking debate.

Those who enjoy the comfort of conventional wisdom will find the Battle of Ideas a very unsafe space.
