Driving and Parking Directions:

Self-parking is first come/first serve. There are two parking lots (North Lot and South Lot). The property is gated, so all attendees and guests will have to pass through a security gate to gain access to the hotel. The security officer will issue a hang tag that permits guests to proceed to the Omni Resort.

Directions to the Omni: From the northeast or southeast (including Savannah Airport) travel on Interstate 95 to Exit 8, Highway 278.  Continue on Highway 278 on to Hilton Head Island. Take the first left turn after mile marker #8 into Palmetto Dunes Resort. Travel approximately one mile, take the right fork and stop at the South Security Gate.

Our student scholarships for this event have been filled.

Get ready for an extraordinary experience at the 2024 Supporters Summit featuring Lew Rockwell, Tom DiLorenzo, and special guest Tom Luongo. The Summit will take place October 10–12, 2024, at the lovely Omni Hilton Head Oceanfront Resort on the stunning Hilton Head Island.

The theme of this year’s Supporters Summit is “Our Enemy, the State.” Perhaps no institution dominates modern life more than the state, which for centuries has tolerated no competition, whether from families, churches, or local communities. Rather, the state demands total obedience and monopolistic power. Few other institutions have so thoroughly succeeded in achieving this in all of human history.

Mises Institute faculty and scholars will explore the nature, history, and consequences of the state, and how the state has sought to control every aspect of daily life through control of money, education, markets, and more. 

Event Highlights:

  • Thursday, October 10: Kick off with a welcoming reception and registration.
  • Friday, October 11: Engage in speaker and scholar presentations, enjoy a catered lunch, and wrap up the day with a low country boil dinner and social hour, featuring the big screen debut of our new documentary about the Federal Reserve at a local movie theater.
  • Saturday, October 12: Gather for more presentations with our speakers and scholars, culminating in a dinner and keynote lecture from Tom Luongo.

Featured Guests:

Lew Rockwell, Tom DiLorenzo, Tom Luongo, Joe Salerno, Guido Hülsmann, Tom Woods, Bob Murphy, Jeff Herbener, Peter Klein, Alex Pollock, Timothy Terrell, Per Bylund, Patrick Newman, Mark Thornton, Shawn Ritenour, Jonathan Newman, Wanjiru Njoya, William Poole, and more.
