After thoughtful consideration, in response to the coronavirus pandemic, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the 2020 Franklin Institute Awards celebration to April 26–29, 2021. At that time, our current laureates will be honored with a full week of events culminating in The Franklin Institute Awards Ceremony and Dinner on April 29, 2021. 

The Awards ceremony has taken place since 1824 and honors the best and brightest minds from around the world in science, technology, engineering, and business. Laureate Circle and Franklin Circle tickets offer you an exclusive experience in the historic Benjamin Franklin National Memorial with live viewing of this prestigious ceremony. Wisdom Circle and Young Friends (recommended for ages 21 to 40) tickets allow you to enjoy a more informal experience with continuous food and bar service while viewing a live simulcast of the ceremony.
