INFORUM & the Commonwealth Club of California

INFORUM is part of the Commonwealth Club, founded in 1903, the oldest and largest civic forum in the United States. It is also the longest running radio program in the nation, heard across 230 public and commercial radio stations.

The Club hosts landmark talks, from Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “New Deal” speech, to the inspiring oratory of Martin Luther King, Jr., to Nobel Laureates such as the Dalai Lama, to every modern American president and today’s other world leaders across fields. The Club's INFORUM division presents new, experimental, exciting events with thought leaders.

INFORUM is the cutting edge of the Commonwealth Club, for everyone.
