The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

President Abraham Lincoln 
Gettysburg Address 
November, 1863  

During his Gettysburg Address, President Lincoln humbly acknowledged that his brief speech would not stand the test of time; that words alone could never compare to the actions of the men who nobly fought and died here. 

However, his words of democracy and civility still resonate today. Gettysburg and Lincoln’s address still inspire new dialogues, thoughtful discussions and great conversations. 

Through a signature series of thought-provoking lectures, panels and events, Great Conversations at Gettysburg brings the lessons, teachings and inspiring stories of Gettysburg to today’s audiences.

Now more than ever, we need Gettysburg. We need Great Conversations. 

You’ll never forget them.
