Vail Symposium is a nonprofit organization focused on educational programs in the education administration space, operating in Vail, Colorado. Founded in 1971 as an annual weekend think tank, it has since expanded its programming to include diverse series such as Hot Topics, Cultural Arts, Unlimited Adventures, and film offerings, with the aim of providing thought-provoking and affordable educational experiences to the local community. The organization serves residents and members of the Vail Valley who seek exposure to a broad range of topics and expert perspectives, addressing interests in culture, public policy, and regional development. Based in the Colorado Rockies, the symposium has evolved through partnerships and leadership changes to broaden its programming and outreach, including notable initiatives like Conversations on Controversial Topics and collaborations with local partners. In recent years, it has continued to introduce new voices and topics, extending its reach within the valley while maintaining its mission to offer diverse educational programming.
