Have fun taking events seriously: Science Events Summit, June 2 - 4, Los Angeles

  • 1.  Have fun taking events seriously: Science Events Summit, June 2 - 4, Los Angeles

    Posted 04-12-2024 10:43 AM
    Monday's eclipse was a reminder of how live events can foster a sense of shared humanity and bring out the best in us.
     
    But some of us also know that great events are so much more than just a live experience. The attendee experience is only the tip of the iceberg! We want to get better at using events strategically from the initial planning process right through relationships and collaborations that follow. We see our events as a potent and playful call to action for attendees and collaborators alike. We believe that event organizing can be community organizing. And we're really curious about what happens when all of this mashes up with science.
     
    The Science Events Summit already has inspiring participants registered, a fabulous museum venue, and lots of thought-provoking fun all within walking distance. It's just missing you!
