Welcome

Welcome to the 2026 Mensa Foundation Speaker Series!

This year we will explore the theme Brain Health Across the Lifespan, alongside intelligence, giftedness, and neurodivergence, through live virtual conversations that integrate research, clinical practice, and lived experience.

Tickets are available in two options: a $50 Single Admission ticket for one event, or a $275 Series Pass that includes access to the full 2026 series.

All sessions are held live via Zoom at 2:00 PM Central Time on the fourth Saturday of each month, except during holiday periods. Each event includes audience Q&A, and recordings are shared with ticket holders following each program. Zoom links will be automatically sent to you after purchase.

Open to Mensa members and the public.
