Description

Welcome to the next pop-up event from SPEAK, the public speaking platform for people with ideas and stories. The theme for this pop-up is “Family” where we will be exploring the ideas and stories of 10 unique and diverse individuals in relation to our theme. Brought to you by producers George Andriopoulos, Fred P. Banny, and Jason Martin.

“Family is not an important thing. It’s everything.”

Michael J. Fox

SPEAK: Family is a powerful theme that explores what “family” means from 10 different perspectives. Family is a word that means so many different things to so many different people. The census bureau defines family as a householder and one or more other persons living in the same. household who are related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption, but the modern-day definition is so much more than that. These 10 talks will feature creative takes on the theme “Family” and the impact of that word on their lives and the lives of those around them.
