Hi, Hunter –

Things are buzzing here at The Atlantic as we gear up for our seventh annual Washington Ideas Forum next week. I’m writing now with a first look at our main stage agenda; speakers and session times are still subject to change but we’re sending this now so you can start to plan your schedule accordingly, in hopes you’re able to stop by next week to take part in the action.

Some highlights to look forward to across the two days include:

- Headline speakers. Join the conversation with leading thinkers and influencers like Colin L. Powell, Mitt Romney, John McCain, Al Gore, Anthony Fauci, Madeleine Albright, Martine Rothblatt, Jeff Weiner, Opal Tometi, Chris Matthews, Jake Tapper, Walter Isaacson, The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg and James Fallows, and many more.

- The Blacklist screening. If you can’t make the regular ticketed programming, come for an early showing of NBC’s season three premiere of “The Blacklist.” The screening will follow the main-stage programming at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 30. Reserve your seat by registering here (note: this session is free to attend but all others are ticketed).

- Interactive stations. Emails and phone calls keeping you in the office? Work remotely with us at our Steelcase-outfitted work space on site at the Harman Center. We’ll also have a special WIF bookstore c/o our friends at Politics & Prose, featuring works from our speakers.
Be sure to purchase your patron pass for the Forum by clicking here – and please don’t hesitate to write with any questions in the meantime (reminder to check our FAQ page as well for answers).

We hope to see you next week.
