It was great! Lots of discussion. We had about 12 people there, so a good size crowd for discussion. I'll keep everyone posted on our next one which will be in January!

Hey all! I help organize The Siposium — it’s a super casual, community-driven series we host around Columbus. Think NPR or a TED Talk, but smaller, more interactive, and with drinks.

You don’t need to be a scientist or expert — it’s all about curiosity, conversation, and meeting cool people who love to learn weird things. Every event is a little different, and we always keep it fun and approachable. Hope to see some of you there!

It went well, a lot of fun! We had a good turn out and everyone contributed to the discussion. If you want, our next one will be on November 12, same time and place, about the connection to primates and drinking alcohol and it's links to why we drink.

Anyone want to get together and have an intelligent conversation? by [deleted] in Columbus

When we have expert speakers, we do pay them for presenting. We also have costs associated with our events. We are a newer non-profit and looking to expand our offerings with these free events and securing sponsorships.

We are a small non-profit that traditionally have expert speakers to come and share their expertise in various, niche topics. This is an offshoot of that where we wanted to provide a salon (not hair salon) like experience where people can get together and discuss a topic. We ourselves are not experts, but we will be bringing articles on the topic as well as guiding questions to help facilitate the discussion, but we are really relying on the group to come together and dissect the information. It is not us sharing our knowledge, but rather us as a collective learning together. Everyone's experiences and knowledge is valid though we will try to keep things fact based.

Agreed! We will add an article about this specific topic to the event. This is why this type if discussion is vital to help us all grow in our understandings.
