On September 28th, we will celebrate ISI’s 70th Anniversary and dedicate our new Linda L. Bean Conference Center at ISI headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware.
But we can truly tell you today that this opportunity is the most intimate, exclusive, and interactive that ISI has ever offered.
This fall, join us at our 70th Anniversary Gala featuring Tucker Carlson, Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation, and Linda Bean, entrepreneur and philanthropist. Together these are some of the most influential figures in America today.
