The Competitive Enterprise Institute ventured to the Land of Enchantment and Opportunity for CEI’s sixth annual policy summit during Rodeo Weekend—Thursday, June 23 to Sunday, June 26, 2022. Throughout the weekend, CEI experts, friends, and supporters enjoyed vibrant Southwestern art, cuisine, and culture. 

After two years of the pandemic and dysfunctional government regulation, CEI experts and guest speakers distilled lessons from successful efforts to liberalize industries and communities in the Southwest and across the country. Guests gathered each morning in the auditorium of the New Mexico History Museum and Palace of Governors for the policy sessions. CEI experts Wayne Crews, Myron Ebell, Daniel Greenberg, Kent Lassman, Jessica Melugin, Richard Morrison, Iain Murray, and Joel Zinberg discussed their work to reform regulatory overreach, technology, and health policy to aid the nation’s post-pandemic recovery.

We featured guest speakers from the public and private sectors, including NetChoice President and CEO Steve DelBianco, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey, Utah Solicitor General Melissa Holyoak, American Institute for Economic Research and Acton Institute Fellow Samuel Gregg, and Zyvex Labs Founder Jim Von Ehr. Guests stayed at the boutique Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi, just off Santa Fe’s historic square. Excursions included the 73rd annual Rodeo de Santa Fe; the immersive art experience at Meow Wolf, “the house that art, fantasy, and mystery built;” and sculptures conjuring America’s West during a private dinner at Gerald Peters Contemporary Gallery.
