Manhattan Salons

FPRI sponsors a series of exclusive monthly salons with leading thinkers at the homes of friends in Manhattan. Begun in 2011, this intellectually engaging initiative, draws academics and business leaders together for intimate discussions on pressing issues of the day.  This initiative is one we hope to soon replicate in other cities as well.
