**Online registration is now closed. Walk-in registration will be available on site. If you have any questions pertaining to registration, you may email [events@​cato.​org](mailto:events@cato.org).**

Please join us for a cocktail reception and thought‐​provoking conversation with Cato senior fellow Johan Norberg, author of [*The Capitalist Manifesto: Why the Free Market Will Save the World*](https://www.amazon.com/Capitalist-Manifesto-Johan-Norberg/dp/1838957898?tag=catoinstitute-20).

Globalization has come under fire over the past two decades as the world has lived through an international financial crisis, terrorist attacks, a pandemic, and the return of war in Europe. Johan will discuss why, despite such turmoil, the free market has still made the past 20 years the best time in human history by almost any measure of well‐​being.

Cato Institute President and CEO Peter Goettler will share the opportunities we see to bring liberty to new audiences, and Allan Carey will join Peter to discuss the importance of restoring viewpoint diversity with educators nationwide through [Sphere Education Initiatives](https://www.sphere-ed.org/).
