About Us

Cape May Forum fosters the transformative power of ideas and the arts in America’s first seaside resort. The Forum seeks inspiration through an educated and engaged exploration of socially-relevant issues, in concert with outstanding presenters and cultural partners. 

Modeled after the Chautauqua Institution, Cape May Forum offers a unique retreat where participants can grapple with the social, moral and political issues of our times. The 2010 Cape May Forum opened by asking: “Humor – Can It Save the World?”  Then in 2011 we posed the question: “Guess What’s Coming for Dinner? - The Politics of Food in the 21st  Century” and explored everything from the gourmet food movement in the developed world, to the politics of food scarcity in the developing world.  

In 2012 we looked to the “Future of Energy” on June 2-3, 2012, and considered how energy consumption changed over the last century.  We explored our dependence on imported fuels and the environmental concerns involving domestic production of nuclear, coal, and natural gas.  We considered how we should act collectively to solve our problems and find innovative new directions to determine the quality of life on our planet for coming generations.
