Renaissance Weekend

Renaissance Weekends® are private retreats for innovative leaders, and their accomplished families, in business and finance, education, religion, law and medicine, government, the media, science and technology, sports, non-profits and the arts.

Founded in 1981 by Linda and Philip Lader, the former U.S. Ambassador to the Court of St. James’s, Renaissance Weekends^® transcend political, economic, and religious differences with equally distinguished participants at each—CEOs, venture capitalists and entrepreneurs, Nobel Laureates and Pulitzer Prize-winners, artists and scientists, astronauts and Olympians, judges, diplomats and work-at-home parents, Presidents, Prime Ministers, professors and priests, Republicans, Democrats and Independents.

Civility prevails. Partisanship is frowned upon, and commercialism is banned.
