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 by 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 request to become an early access member!

This will be the 11th year of the Indian River Lagoon Science Festival! It’s a great event that draws over 50 exhibitors and 10,000 people to celebrate the wonders of science along Florida’s east coast.
Check out the Wisconsin Science Festival's ‘At a Glance’ slide to see the lineup of their featured events. This year’s focus is “Us! The science of humans and the humans who do science.”
Check out our Event Initiatives to view other upcoming events.
Questions:
•How are you systematizing your events so that you aren’t reinventing the wheel with a creative idea every month?
•Do any festivals provide a formal “Letter of Participation/Collab” (including pre- or post-fest)?
•Does anyone else use Galaxy Digital for volunteer management?
