This Conference is free of charge.

The Templeton Enterprise Awards are presented annually to authors who have produced exemplary books and articles on the relationship between humane economics and culture throughout the world. The 2006 award recipients will be joined by other nationally recognized experts. Each panel will address, from a variety of compelling perspectives, what a culture of enterprise should consist of in our age of global economic competition. The presentations will focus on the urgency of striking a balance between "culture" and "enterprise" - crucial today as global capital and labor markets alter the traditional routines of economic life in first-, second- , and third-world societies.
