  The Little Event

  Session 1: Thursday 16th January, 3:00 - 6:30pm; & Session 2: Saturday 18th January, 9:00am - 1:15pm Both sessions are GMT (London) time

  Online via Zoom (this is a LIVE event and NOT pre-recorded)

  The Little Event is BIG’s training session for people who are new to STEM communication, whether you work in a science centre or museum, volunteer for a festival, are involved in university outreach, or do anything else to engage people with science, technology, engineering and maths. The Little Event is crammed with introductory sessions focusing on developing the different skills that are useful in STEM communication; they are delivered by experienced science communicators following BIG's usual hands-on approach.
  The 2025 Little Event will be online and hosted live over two days. The days are designed to work together and are booked as a package (i.e. not sold separately) and delivered LIVE. They are NOT pre-recorded sessions. 

  But of course, it isn't just about the sessions, it’s the people you will meet, too. The Little Event also presents a great opportunity to meet people from across the UK working in similar roles and sharing similar experiences. The 2025 programme includes sessions on Evaluation, Managing Projects, Presenting, Science Capital and Careers and will include plenty of networking time as well as short comfort breaks.
