Atlas Circle Network Dinner with Tal Tsfany
Join us for an intimate Atlas Circle Network Dinner with Tal Tsfany, President & CEO of the Ayn Rand Institute, bringing together entrepreneurs, investors, executives, and professionals for an evening of meaningful conversation, new connections, and ideas.
The Atlas Circle Network is a community for ambitious people across every stage of business—from young professionals and startup founders to investors and C-suite executives—who have been inspired by Ayn Rand’s ideas and share a commitment to achievement. The network is designed to help members put Objectivism into practice while building relationships with others who share similar values. Members exchange advice and ideas, make introductions, share resources, discover opportunities, and help one another navigate real business and personal challenges.
Our special guest, Tal Tsfany, is President and CEO of the Ayn Rand Institute. Before leading ARI, Tal was an entrepreneur, investor, and technology executive, building and growing businesses and teams in both Israel and the United States. He is also a co-founder of the Ayn Rand Center Israel and holds a bachelor's degree in industrial engineering and an MBA in business management.
This dinner is part of the programming surrounding the Principled Business Summit, taking place October 28–30 at the Hilton Austin Downtown.

The University Has Competition: Building New Models for Higher Education
New universities, academies, alternative credentials, and entrepreneurial education models are challenging assumptions about what college is for and how future leaders should be educated.
Tal will explore a central question: What can new entrants do that legacy institutions cannot—and what should the next generation of higher education look like?
The conversation is particularly relevant to Tal’s work building new approaches to intellectual and professional education through the Ayn Rand Institute's educational program, ARU.
The dinner offers an opportunity to continue these conversations in a smaller setting while meeting members of the Atlas Circle community and other leaders attending the Summit.
