Discovery Museum Speaker Series

Join us for the 2024 Series: Conversation. Understanding. Hope.

 

The Discovery Museum Speaker Series presents expert voices on matters of importance to our communities, free of charge and open to the public. Researchers, educators, best-selling authors, and field experts bring national perspective to pressing topics underscored by the Discovery Museum’s three-pronged emphasis on science, nature, and play. 

The virtual events will be live captioned. If there is anything we can do to make our Speakers Series more accessible to you, please let us know. We will do what we can to provide any needed accommodations.

Certificates of attendance are available upon request. Available recordings of past programs may be found on our YouTube channel.

Launched in 2013 and presented in a virtual format beginning in 2020, the Series has grown in scope each year and developed audience from across Massachusetts and beyond. Our sponsors make these important, free, community conversations possible—and get great visibility! Learn more about becoming a Speaker Series sponsor today.
