The Acton Institute is bringing the distinctive spirit of its flagship global conference, Acton University, to Brazil. On September 19–20, in Belo Horizonte, Acton Experience Brazil will gather up to 300 influential leaders from across Brazil’s religious, academic, political, civil society, and business communities for a high-impact event. Through keynote talks, dynamic seminars, and deep conversations, participants will explore the moral, theological, and economic foundations of a free and virtuous society. It’s an opportunity to sharpen your intellect, expand your worldview, and connect with others committed to the flourishing of Brazil.
Program Highlights
The result of years of partnerships and connections built with Brazilian leaders, this is the first edition of an Acton Institute event to take place in Brazil, an event dedicated to exploring liberty, faith, and morality within our cultural context. It will bring together participants from across the country in an environment committed to deep reflection on the ethical foundations of a free and virtuous society.
Inspired by the renowned Acton University, held annually in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where for 20 years more than 1,000 leaders from over 80 countries have gathered, the Acton Experience in Brazil brings this transformative experience to our local context, offering intellectually rich content tailored to the Brazilian reality.
In a dynamic and thought-provoking environment, you will engage with ideas that expand horizons, take part in dialogue that matters for today’s Brazil, and build lasting connections with leaders from diverse sectors and regions. Get ready for a journey of learning that brings together reflection, action, and purpose.
