America’s 250th deserves more than fireworks. It deserves a celebration of the right to free speech that has helped make this nation great. That’s why FIRE is launching a new event right in the birthplace of American democracy itself.
In Philadelphia from November 4-6, 2026, Soapbox is bringing together headline speakers, unflinching debates, and unforgettable entertainment to explore the ideas and freedoms that will shape America for the next 250 years.
- Keynotes, panels, and debates
- Networking opportunities
- Immersive entertainment
- An unforgettable gala on the last night
Free speech is under pressure. From cancel culture and government censorship to a growing erosion of public understanding and support for this essential right, the conversation about its future has never mattered more.
Soapbox is our answer to this moment. This conference will be a place to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions, and yes — we’re also planning one hell of a party.
