The Next American Century

The American Dream is a promise that if you work hard, your children will achieve a better, richer, happier life. Now, that promise is at risk. We rank 49th in health outcomes. Our children's math and reading scores are at a 30-year low. AI will upend the future of work.

At the Lion Forum, the nation's innovators, CEOs and Members of Congress gather at the historic Kennedy Compound for two days of discussion and debate. The purpose of the Lion Forum is to chart a path for America's top founders and most influential public officials to work together in transforming health, education and jobs for families across the country.

Join us.

Our Story

Founded in 2022 by Christopher Kennedy McKelvy and Judd Olanoff, with support from K. Ventures and the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation, the Lion Forum began as a small convening focused on how technology could improve outcomes for Americans in need.

It has since grown into a national forum uniting leaders in policy and industry to shape the future of healthcare, education, and work for all American families.
