Renaissance Weekend

Renaissance Weekend is an exclusive elite retreat, founded in 1980 by Linda Lader and Philip Lader, the former U.S. Ambassador to the UK. Renaissance Weekends are private, invitation-only retreats for leaders in business and finance, government, the media, religion, medicine, science, technology and the arts.

Conversations are strictly off the record and subject matter ranges widely, tending to focus heavily on policy and business issues.
