Annual Gathering Programming

2025 Speaker Highlights

From groundbreaking work in science, media, and the arts, to firsthand accounts from the "Playboy Advisor" and a war-zone journalist, this year's AG programming will take audiences from the depths of the Titanic and the mysteries of ancient tombs to the edges of the universe and the untold stories of women warriors, mob legacies, and evolutionary marvels.

2025 Programming Schedule

AG programming is an eclectic mix of presentations given by Mensans and external speakers — interesting deep-dives into topics ranging from, quite literally, the history and cultural legacy of high heels to Renaissance art to developments in cryptocurrency. The typical AG speaker session is thought-provoking, packed with interesting information, and illustrative of the speaker's personal or professional passion.
