Pebble Beach Authors & Ideas Festival
Pebble Beach Authors & Ideas Festival, formerly Carmel Authors and Ideas Festival, takes place on the last weekend of September in Pebble Beach, California.[1]
History[edit]
Held annually since 2007, founders Cynthia and James McGillen were inspired to create the event after attending the Sun Valley Writers' Conference in Idaho for many years.[2][3]
Until 2013 it was held at the Sunset Center in Carmel-by-the-Sea, when it was moved to Pebble Beach by its co-founder, James McGillen, owing to problems with renegotiating a contract at the venue. It relocated to Stevenson School in Pebble Beach and Santa Catalina School in Monterey.[1]
Description[edit]
The festival attracts many of the world's top authors and thinkers, including authors of New York Times best-sellers and winners of the Pulitzer and Nobel Prize. The event is organised by the Carmel Ideas Foundation.[4]
The 16th festival is scheduled to take place from September 22 to 24, 2023.[4]
