IQ² Global

Since 2002, Intelligence Squared (IQ²), London’s premier debate organisation, has been bringing together some of the world’s leading minds to participate in controversial - and often heated - debates.

We regularly host authors, journalists, politicians, economists, scientists and entrepreneurs - people like Richard Dawkins, Bernard-Henri Lévy, Karl Rove and Stephen Fry - and ask them to lock horns on British politics, international affairs, media, history, religion, science, the environment and the arts.

The world's forum for live debate

Now with franchise branches in New York, Hong Kong, Sydney and Kiev and Abuja, IQ² is fast becoming a truly global brand, aided by regular broadcasts on BBC World News to an estimated audience of 70 million people.

The USA debates are also broadcast on radio, carried by over 200 NPR (National Public Radio) stations and televised globally on Bloomberg TV and in Australia there is also a broadcast deal with Australian Broadcasting Corporation, so you can really follow IQ² debates all around the world.
