“When you gather well, one of the outcomes is you create a sense of belonging.”



(Priya Parker)

Dear Programmers and Curators,


As our speaker Priya Parker, the bestselling author of The Art of Gathering says, we believe that purposefully programmed events can create connection and strengthen communities.


Looking to the 2025/26 season and beyond, what are the topics inspiring your audiences? Who are the storytellers and thought leaders that will fill your auditoriums and venues?


We work with celebrities who have meaningful stories to tell, from bestselling author and Japanese Breakfast lead vocalist Michelle Zauner to powerhouse activist and actress Jane Fonda.


Is your audience looking for an inspiring evening with a book club favorite? Bonnie Garmus, author of the global bestseller Lessons in Chemistry and Cheryl Strayed, whose hit memoir Wild became an Academy Award-nominated motion picture starring Reese Witherspoon, are among countless authors who spark lasting conversations and make unforgettable events. 

Tommy Orange speaks to a packed auditorium in Chicago as part of One Book One Chicago.

And for audiences who want to engage with the timely topics shaping national conversations, we offer programming around important themes such as connection & friendship, democracy & movement building, and other current events.


We’d love to learn more about your programs and speaker series.
