The San Jose Speaker Series brings the very best of today’s eminent leaders, thinkers, and innovators in a subscription-based lecture series to downtown San Jose. The 2022-2023 Season of the Series runs from October 2022 through April 2023. All seven events will take place live and in person at San Jose Civic as well as via simulcast on the organization’s Zoom platform.

The 2022-2023 San Jose Speaker Series has been carefully crafted to deliver a range of inspiring speakers — world leaders, innovators and scientists, pioneering explorers, humanitarians, and acclaimed artists and performers in an open, unbiased forum where exciting concepts are presented and a broad scope of issues are explored for the intellectual enrichment of the community. You will come away from each speaker event with a greater awareness and broader understanding of new — and sometimes controversial — ideas.

The San Jose Speaker Series is dedicated to providing the highest quality speaker experience in the country, with a very personal touch for the subscribing members of our community.

Doors open one hour prior to each in-theater event. No children under age 5, please.
