• AV & Technical Coordination: Ensure all technical setups, including projectors, microphones, and presentation materials, are functioning properly while thinking on your feet to solve issues that may arise during events.
• Hosting: Welcoming attendees, introducing the speaker of the night, and engaging with the audience to set the tone for the event.

Event Producers may produce up to 5 lectures per month and this position pays $425 per lecture night. This role is perfect for someone who loves learning, thrives in social environments, and can balance curation, organization, and event-night logistics. We're looking for organized community-builders who are excited to help bring intellectual nightlife to their city.
