The [2013 International Students For Liberty Conference](https://studentsforliberty.org/event/2013-international-sfl-conference/), now in its sixth year, will bring over a thousand students and young liberty activists to Washington, D.C. to talk about ideas, hear from leading policy experts, and network with organizations and each other. I’m proud to have been the first speaker at the first ISFLC conference, in New York in 2008. This year, the conference will be hosted at the Grand Hyatt Washington Hotel, just three blocks from the Cato Institute.

I will be presenting two lectures that weekend, a session with Young Americans for Liberty on [“The Ten Ways to Talk about Freedom”](http://www.yaliberty.org/posts/join-yal-at-isflc-2013) and a luncheon keynote in Cato’s Yeager Conference Center on [Reclaiming Freedom: The Case for Libertarian Ideas in Mainstream Politics](https://www.cato.org/events/reclaiming-freedom-case-libertarian-ideas-mainstream-politics). Plus I’ll be on a special taping of the “Stossel” show.

Other Cato scholars will be speaking on policy issues throughout the conference. All of the below sessions will be taking place in the Hyatt’s Constitution room B.
