All Upcoming Events
We're happy to bring you Refresh the Page, our new series of online programming. We'll keep our events calendar up to date—keep checking back for new programs and dates!
We look forward to seeing everyone in person when that becomes possible.
Kepler's Literary Foundation programs include live events that bring people face to face with leading intellectuals. Event formats include lectures, panel discussions, on-stage interviews, educational workshops, literary seminars, and community discussion groups covering the arts, culture, science, and current affairs. Our programs involve noted writers, artists, and original thinkers who engage with the community to discuss their ideas, insights, perspectives, and stories.

Our Premier Events bring the biggest names in literature, science, entertainment and the arts into our community for intriguing one-of-a-kind discussions.
