What is Learning Night?

audience1

Learning Night is a TED-like speaker series where our coolest friends get together and give talks about topics they are passionate about.

Each night has 3 speakers who share something they’re passionate about—anything at all! It’s typically a 15 min talk + 5 min Q&A but speakers are free to make up their own format, and you don’t need credentials to give a talk. In the past we’ve had workshops, guided meditations, and music jam sessions. Other past talks have included topics like:

  • History of circumcision
  • Building your own particle accelerator at home
  • How to resolve relationship conflicts
  • Teaching a hip-hop class
  • Making GIFs in photoshop

Learning Night is founded on the principle that everyone has something you can learn from, a community where everyone is friendly and welcome. It’s the perfect opportunity for those new to public speaking to practice their skills in a low-pressure, informal environment, for people to come together and discover things they normally wouldn’t get to from their friends and other folks in their own communities.
