The Springfield Public Forum

The important topics of our day demand in-depth discussion and analysis.  The Springfield Public Forum provides exactly that:  opportunities to learn from and talk with world class experts and fellow residents of the greater Springfield, "live and in color," all free to the public.  Lectures by  foreign affairs analysts, political commentators, authors, historians, educators, scientists, environmentalists, health experts and economists are described by audience members as "informed, inspired, stimulating:" a gem in the region's cultural landscape.

Old but new every year, the Springfield Public Forum celebrates its 74th anniversary in 2009 with an exciting line-up of cutting edge lectures.  Our lectures and related programming promise that you will arrive curious and leave inspired!
