New Scientist Live is making a return in January 2022 and is set to relaunch as a hybrid event, combining the best of live and virtual experiences. Welcoming over 9,000 visitors, 45 speakers and dozens of exhibitors in-person for talks, discussions and hands-on demonstrations.
The new hybrid format will reconnect a live audience with the stimulating experiences and engaging activities that New Scientist Live is famous for, in a safe environment. Plus it will reach new audiences around the world by bringing an exciting programme of online-only content.
New Scientist Live Manchester will take place on 29-31 January 2022 at Manchester Central. The first two days are open to all, with the final day dedicated to schools and home learners.
The organisers are looking for inspiring speakers and performers, engaging experiences and activities. Applications are welcome from early-career and underrepresented scientists and communicators.
Please contact Jacqui McCarron for the speaker nomination form which will need to be returned by Friday 23 July 2021.
