The heart of this year’s festival: Teachers College. With a new state-of-the-art auditorium, spacious breakout rooms, and plenty of vibrant common areas, it’s the perfect home for big conversations, live demos, and the buzz in the hallway.

Bollinger Forum hosts academic lectures, conferences, performances and cultural events designed to spark conversation and civic engagement. The Bollinger Forum provides an important new space where scholars and thought leaders from diverse fields can come together to share ideas, and where Columbia and the local community can engage with New York City and beyond.
