The 2024 – 2025 season is here!

This season, Martha Stewart, Coach K, Baratunde Thurston, and others will come to Richmond to share their ideas, stories, and perspectives regarding today’s important issues and to answer your hard-hitting questions.

New Season, New Ideas.

The 39th season of The Richmond Forum will present six compelling speakers who come to Richmond with new discoveries, new stories, and new perspectives. Whether you are searching for the origins of the universe, an antidote to the “manosphere,” or hard-learned lessons in leadership, this season will answer your big questions and, perhaps, dare you to ask bigger ones.

With a subscription to the 2024 – 2025 season, you gain access to each one-of-a-kind program, whether you opt to join us at the theater, online, or a mix of the two.
