Access to 92NY Talks

The most compelling thinkers of our time. The most thrilling entertainers in the country. The most influential policy makers in our society. 92NY Talks is where the world gathers to share ideas.

For decades, 92NY Talks has been New York’s premier forum for discussing the most important issues of our time — a world-renowned platform for civic discourse, critical debate, and the sheer joy of the arts. Business leaders who have recently appeared onstage at The 92nd Street Y include Bob Iger and Oprah Winfrey, Nicole Lapin, David Rubenstein, Richard Florida, Kamilah Forbes and many more.
