NICON - New Intellectual Conference is an annual gathering hosted by the Ayn Rand Center Europe (ARCE). It brings together alumni, partners, lecturers, and donors of the John Galt School, all sharing a common interest in Objectivism. 

NICON serves as a platform for deepening understanding, fostering connections, and promoting our philosophy.

The entire conference aims to dive deeper into Ayn Rand's ideas through lectures, workshops, quizzes, and competitions. Each year, we choose a general theme for the conference, which makes it better structured and provides an opportunity for participants to explore that particular theme in depth.

Our participants come from all over the world and have an opportunity to network, learn, and share their passion for a freer society while brainstorming ideas with other fellow participants. 

The talks are covered by both renowned speakers as well as new ones, who can use this opportunity to further craft their teaching skills. These speakers come from various organizations with the same passion for liberty and Objectivism. 

Our partners and alumni benefit not just from new connections they build throughout the event but also from presenting their relevant upcoming projects and professional successes. 

NICON provides a space to recognize and recruit emerging talents, enriching our network while fostering new Objectivist projects and collaborations.

Our program is poised to make a direct and meaningful impact on approximately 120 participants who will be actively engaged in our upcoming conference in Fall this year, and beyond!

The true champions of our cause remain the pillars of our community - out esteemed partners, dedicated alumni, and visionary speakers. They will carry torch of our ideas far and wide in the wake of the conference, illuminating minds across the globe. 

With the grand perspective in mind, we stand resolute in our belief that our influence will resonate with thousands, leaving an indelible mark on hearts and minds worldwide.

We aim to give out network support in achieving their goals and navigate them on their path to success.

NICON is the best place to accomplish that.
