THE FIRST U2 CONFERENCE IS IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. SEE OUR RECAP.
ACHTUNG U2 FANS! Spend a weekend in Durham, North Carolina, talking, listening and learning about what U2 has done. Scholars, teachers, students, journalists, clergy, musicians and intellectually curious U2 fans are meeting for a rich program of exploring this one-of-a-kind band for a one-of-a-kind conference. We hope you'll be in the room.
Is this band of ambitions, paradoxes, ironies and sincerity the real thing? If you think U2 has played a role in changing the worlds of music, entertainment, popular culture, humanitarian relief, peace and social justice efforts - or has changed the world in you - then come join the conversation. Meet us in the sound! (And take in a U2 concert the same weekend too, just down the road in Raleigh.)
