Montecito Ideas Forum is a Federal and California-registered non-partisan, non-profit tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization and thought leadership platform that convenes experts shaping our individual and collective futures. In the tradition of the West, and in the spirit of the Channel Islands which grace our Santa Barbara vista, our filter for all we do is the frontier, the horizon, the edge, whether in emergent technology or human flourishing and evolution. Open spaces, open minds. In additional to our expert speaker series, Montecito Ideas administers Achievement2.ai, a youth performance enrichment program that lives and breathes these open perspectives (coming in Spring 2026).
