From Gdansk to Berlin, Tienanmen Square to Chechnia, Prague to Riga, Wellington, New Zealand to The Hill in Ottawa, to the U.S. Capitol and beyond, the revolt against oppressive authority has swollen like a flood. Faltering bureaucracies, movements toward independence, and rebellion against taxes signal the dawning of a new era.
For people who believe in imposed order, as W.B. Yeats observed, "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; mere anarchy is loosed upon the world."
As they perceive the disintegration of their long-cherished vision, they sink into gloom and are gripped by panic.
But we rejoice in the brilliance of the opening vista of liberty for the coming millennium. And we celebrate it at the International Society for Individual Liberty (ISIL) 1996 World Conference.
Never, perhaps, has a world conference on liberty been better-timed. North and south of the 49th parallel and throughout the world, the litany of outrageous government abuse grows daily - along with the resentment and cynicism it engenders. The moral bankruptcy of penalizing virtue to reward irresponsibility now manifests its inescapable consequence: the material bankruptcy of the coercive welfare state.
But unlike the Industrial Revolution and its collectivizing effect, today's Communications Revolution has empowered people to rise above the collectivist mentality that spawned socialism, the welfare state and government intervention. Uncensored access to knowledge and the free exchange of ideas have ignited the creativity of the individual, impelling him towards that personal sovereignty which is his birthright.
Even the media are starting to pay attention to the benefits of a free, non-interventionist society.
In close personal encounters with trend-setting thinkers, you will discuss these liberating developments at the ISIL World Conference. You will meet old friends and make new ones as you experience the exhilaration of instant rapport and fellowship with people who treasure liberty in a coercive world. You will exchange ideas on how to defend, preserve and promote your values.
We had speakers from a variety of national backgrounds from North America, South America, Africa, Hawaii, Europe, the Near East, and the Far East. These are the speakers that participated:

You could not find a more appropriate setting for this momentous event than the green valleys and snow-capped peaks of beautiful Whistler, British Columbia. An all-to-short drive from Vancouver just 121 km (75 miles) along the stunning Sea to Sky Highway through the Coast Mountains - this now world famous community is ranked the #1 ski resort in North America by Snow Country magazine, and recently won the prestigious Cold Medal for excellence by Ski magazine. With its championship golf courses, hiking and biking trails, clear lakes, horseback riding and adrenaline-raising sports from rock climbing to paragliding, Whistler is now almost as renowned for its wealth of summer activities.
