About the event
The evening takes place in the Ondaatje Theatre at the Society’s building in London and is also streamed live to an online audience. The spring edition will be held on 16 April 2026 at 7.00pm. An additional autumn edition may be scheduled once applications are received.
The evening has a strong social aspect and an exciting vibe. Attendees are a mixture of Society members and the interested public who are encouraged to participate by asking questions following each talk.
The Map Room bar is open for drinks providing an opportunity for the audience to stay on afterwards for further discussion and meet the speakers.
