About
The Freedom conference is a unique conference, promoting personal and economic liberties in the Israeli society.

Organized by the Israeli freedom movement, the Ayn Rand center in Israel and other partners, it brings together the key liberal speakers, researchers, journalists, entrepreneurs and politicians operating and promoting those ideas.

Israel faces complex challenges in the fields of security, economics and society. The common believe that the state can answer all of those challenges by applying more control through legislation and regulation of its citizens actions, raises deep concerns regarding the state of individual liberties and the fabric of life in our multicultural society.

A modern, liberal and vibrant society depends on its freedom of speech, of press, of thought and belief, of movement and association and the liberty from the arbitrary actions of governments.
The role of government is to defend its citizens liberties, to ensure their freedom to live their lives and pursue their own happiness, without fear of violence or coercion by others, citizens or state.

Freedom grants extensive economic and social prosperity. Nonetheless, above all, it is the moral ground that allows for different people with different values and different goals to live together in peace and justice.
