Lectures After Dark is a growing movement of intellectual social events that combine academic learning settings with the social experience of a bar.
Making it easier for people to learn about interesting things, meet new people, and get out of the house.
I run Lectures After Dark as a community project and a real operating system. I handle the website, speaker outreach, event planning, promotion, and the day-to-day work of getting people in the same room.
- Built and maintained the public LAD website and event pages.
- Set up workflows for speaker outreach, event planning, promotion, and follow-up across Notion, email, calendar, and web publishing.
- Wrote event copy and shaped the visual direction for events and social content.
- Used automation and AI tools to cut down repetitive research, outreach, and event-prep work.
- Hosted 21 events for more than 530 attendees.
- Built a repeatable way to bring speakers, venues, ideas, and audiences together.
- Turned a personal interest in public learning into a real local community.
