The Louisville Forum is the preeminent, nonpartisan public issues group in Louisville. Founded in 1984, the Forum debates contemporary and sometimes controversial public policy issues that affect the greater Louisville region. As an independent, nonprofit organization, the Forum never takes a stand on issues. Membership is open to the public at-large, and guests are welcome at all meetings.

Regular meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month at Vincenzo’s restaurant in downtown Louisville. Our membership includes engaged community and business leaders, and individuals with a wide variety of backgrounds. Our in-person lunch programs seat about 100. 

Forum monthly meetings are recorded, and then broadcast on Louisville MetroTV several times during subsequent weeks. View recordings of our past programs here.

The Louisville Forum’s annual dinner meeting occurs each February, with about 150 in attendance. Registration and cocktails are followed by dinner and the Fleur-de-Lis Award presentation, which honors individuals for outstanding contributions to the Louisville community.
