The World Science Festival streams videos of its programs to millions of viewers around the world, engaging audiences in cutting-edge science and remarkable discoveries. WSConnect enhances the video programs with live Q & As with experts and fascinating discussions with other science-lovers.
You can join the conversation online or at events in your community with local experts. If you’re interested in hosting a WSConnect event in your community we’ll guide you through the process.
WSConnect is a series of online as well as independently organized events hosted by universities, schools, museums, libraries, science clubs and others. We encourage our hosting partners to tailor the experience to their community, supplementing the screenings with their own local experts and speakers and other added features.
Each hosting partner is expected to:
– Find and organize a venue to host the screening and any other programming.
– Invite local speakers to continue the conversation with your audience after the screening.
– Market the screening to local audiences with materials and support provided by WSF.
– Share photos and feedback of the event with your audience, your community, and the World Science Festival.
Anyone. Some of our previous partners include universities, museums, cultural organizations, libraries, and science clubs.
We’ll provide you with a digital toolkit of marketing materials, such as logos, images, approved text, and the official one sheet to promote your event. We can provide additional program suggestions and guidance as needed. We’ll provide you with guidelines on how to connect with us and other WSConnect partners via social media.
We encourage partners to screen the programs in real time so that they can experience the excitement of the live show and take advantage of connecting moment-to-moment to the event participants and other WSConnect partners via social media. However, if this is not feasible, programs can be screened at a later date. Contact us for more information.
You will need a computer, a screen, a projector and speakers. The event will be streamed via Livestream and partners can either embed the link on their own site or access directly from the World Science Festival website.
Streaming the WSF program is FREE. However, you are responsible for presenting costs, such as venue rental and speaking fees. In order to cover these costs, WSConnect partners can charge tickets or seek sponsorship.
No. You can sign up at any time. You can also host a screening after the festival. For more information, email us.
