Behind every great National Geographic story there is a great storyteller: the writers, photographers, filmmakers, scientists, explorers, and adventurers who bring the world home. Through National Geographic Live, a rich public program of speakers, concerts, and films, we present these storytellers on stages worldwide.

We also produce student programs to inspire the next generation of explorers, and make speakers available to organizations through our Speakers Bureau. Explore the list below to experience National Geographic Live near you.
