Field Museum’s Night of Ideas event
Earlier this year, the Field Museum hosted the first ever Night of Ideas event in Chicago with the Consulate General of France. The Night of Ideas concept originated in France, and is now held in over 100 cities across 5 continents. For the first time ever, they came to Chicago. And I am honored to be there to document such a special event for The French Consulate and the Field Museum.
This was truly an awesome night! 150 speakers and performers from 35 institutions performed for the 10,000+ registered guests. These speakers and performers came from Chicago, France, and beyond. For six hours, they performed and presented, sharing and talking about their ideas around this year’s theme, Alive!. Topics include humans, climate change, technology, empowerment, and urban sustainability. These talks and performances were held all around the Field Museum throughout the night. You can think of it as an intellectual marathon. This year’s affair was a tremendous success and I hope this will become a new tradition in Chicago every year!
