Liberty & Society: Student Forum 2024

The Liberty and Society Student Conference is a unique 2-day conference for students interested in exploring important economic, political, and philosophical issues of past and present from a classical liberal and libertarian framework. The conference has supported over 1000 students including the likes of Josh Frydenberg, Kelly O’Dwyer, and Simon Bridges.

This is more than a conference; it’s a chance to challenge and enhance your philosophical foundation with the support of CIS and our distinguished speakers and researchers. Beyond the intellectual engagement, it’s a valuable networking weekend that has fostered a community of long-standing interest in classical liberal ideas. More information on the L&S conference and program can be found here.

This year’s lecturers include Chris Berg (RMIT Blockchain Innovation Hub), Michael Brennan (e61 Institute), Gigi Foster (UNSW School of Economics) and Joshua Forrester (UWA Law School)!
