The third-annual New York Ideas gathered industry innovators with one simple goal: to draw out the passions and strands of genius that are changing our world. The event took place at the New-York Historical Society, and brought together nearly 1,000 in-person attendees. Through interviews, panels, debates, displays, and break-out sessions, we displayed the seismic trends driving the business, political, and cultural landscape.
