The Austin Forum is a monthly speaker series and networking event that hosts distinguished leaders who share their knowledge and experience about the confluence of science, technology and society in the 21st century.
The Forum’s goal is to engage and educate the Austin community about the numerous ways in which science and technology enhance the quality of their everyday life, as well as the health, prosperity and security of the nation.
The event takes place the first Tuesday of each month at the beautiful AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center, Amphitheater (#204).
Watch the Austin Forum online! If you can't make the forum, presentations are made available the following week.
