For the past five years, the Stossel Show has been a staple of the International Students For Liberty Conference (ISFLC). John Stossel has generously shipped his New York City-based crew down to DC every year to record some memorable ISFLC moments. We couldn’t be more thrilled to have him here with us once again, to film an episode of the Stossel Show with young libertarians from all over the world.

Today’s Stossel Show taping takes place in the Marriott Ballroom from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. 

Make sure to get there early so you can get a good seat! And, for a blast from the past, check out Stossel’s first taping at the 4th ISFLC waaaaaaay back in 2011:

Last week, we announced the official schedule of ISFLC16. Today, just one short week away from the conference, we’re excited to release the official program in all its glory. Feast your eyes!

A Clash of National Interests? The US and Russia in Eastern Europe sponsored by Charles Koch Institute (CKI)

Join international relations legend Dr. John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago for a conversation about the diplomatic and military balance of power in Eastern Europe. What does the ongoing tension between Russia and the United States mean for the future of the region? How do the national interests of the key players dictate the direction of this simmering conflict?

  • Moderated by Dan McCarthy
  • Dr. John Mearsheimer
