Lecture Description:

The 21st Century is ripe for a new era of exploration.   Before 1900 being an explorer was a vocation.  That was lost when the sense that all was discovered with the finding of the north and south poles.  Today we have come to a time when it is not possible to manage our way out of problems or to the next opportunity.  We must Explore.   Dwight Gibson Director of Program Outreach for the Acton Institute and Chief Explorer for The Exploration Group will outline the potential for exploration today and why exploration needs to be a part of the toolkit for 21st century leaders.
