The Salisbury Forum, Inc.--Where Ideas Come Together-- is a community/regional forum for the exchange of ideas and information regarding topics which affect our lives in the community, region, nation and the world.  We sponsor four or five public meetings a year, drawing upon nationally-recognized speakers.

Admission to Salisbury Forum events is free, thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and donors.

Attendance at each of the four major forums presented in the inaugural 2005-6 season averaged over 400, including the 700+ who heard Dan Rather of CBS News fame speak at The Hotchkiss School's Elfers Hall. The 2006-7 season was equally successful, with lively discussions following presentations on topics such as the US Constitution, Universal Healthcare, and Sustainable Design. The 2007-8 season is off to a roaring start, with another great presentation on the Constitution, a terrific forum on China by John Thornton, former Co-CEO of Goldman Sachs and a professor at a university in China, and an enlightening discussion of Islam by Dr. Muqtedar Kahn of the University of Delaware.
