Distinctive Voices@The Beckman Center highlights innovations, discoveries, and emerging issues in an exciting and engaging public forum. Do you wonder how things work? What the future holds? If you are curious about the science and technology behind today’s hot topics, Distinctive Voices is for you!
Spend an evening gaining insights on significant advances in medicine, biotechnology, energy, the environment, space exploration, and more. Learn from some of the best minds in the world -- including members of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine -- in presentations geared to the general public.
Admission and parking are FREE, and you are invited to continue the dialogue at a dessert reception after each presentation. Admission to the auditorium is on a "first come, first served" basis (first arrivals admitted at 6:30pm), and we provide overflow seating where guests can watch a real-time big-screen video feed and enjoy the program over a cup of coffee. See Guest Conveniences for info on reservations for parties of 6 or more, and guests using wheelchairs.
