The University of Virginia's Miller Center of Public Affairs hosts more than 60 speakers each year through the Miller Center Forum. Guest speakers present on a variety of topics related to current affairs, government, and public policy issues.

The Miller Center Forum presents more than 60 speakers each year, drawn from high-ranking public officials and others involved in shaping public policy, from the academy, and from journalists covering national and international events. Forums attract a large audience of faculty, students, and interested citizens. They offer a unique opportunity for speakers to engage in stimulating public policy discussions in a beautiful setting that encourages direct interaction between speaker and audience. The Miller Center’s Forum room is modeled on the Virginia House of Burgesses and allows participants to fully engage in the dialogue. This approach, evocative of a time when speakers spoke directly to their audience, actively fosters personal engagement in our country’s public affairs. Miller Center Forums are webcast live, and are archived on the Miller Center web site so they can viewed on demand by anyone in the world with a broadband connection. Certain PBS affiliates (such as WVPT, Harrisonburg, Virginia) regularly broadcast Forums, and Forum programs are covered by local broadcast news channels. Miller Center Forums are non-partisan, free, open to the public, and no advance reservations are required.
