Gathering a Community of practice for
Public Science Events

Science.Events is an online hub for a community of practice dedicated to public science events.

We are united by a passion for connecting people using the power of in-person events. And we are curious about what happens when science gets mixed in with culture. Event organizing is the common thread that draws this community together. It may not be a full-time job for many of us, but we are each affiliated with at least one live public event.

This community has been around in one form or another for decades, but the Science.Events platform is new. Now that you've found us, stay a while. Take a look at some of the event initiatives our members produce (reaching more than a half-million people in 2024), join us at the Science Events Summit, or leap right into Beta testing and request to become a member!
