Showcasing research and ideas shaping Canada — one talk at a time in breweries and pubs in Hamilton and Toronto, ON
Talks Over Draft is a live event series where Canadian university professors and researchers share their ideas outside lecture halls. We bring smart conversations into relaxed settings where learning becomes social, accessible, and fun.
What to expect
- Intimate crowds of 30–75 people.
- Topics spanning science, technology, culture, history, and economics.
- Conversations designed to be friendly, thoughtful, and accessible to everyone.
Get involved
If you are a professor interested in public-facing talks, a brewery open to hosting, or someone who loves good ideas and good drinks, we would love to connect.
Also, if you're a local business, such as a brewery or food truck, and would like to collaborate, we would love to connect.
