A night with National Geographic Explorers and their work around the world.
Stories from around the world educate us, expose us to new cultures, tell us what makes us human and show us where we can make a difference. Join us for explorations and stories that span the world, from the Himalayas to your own backyard, and topics that range from bee biology to political boundaries. Light snacks will be served.
