Fact sheet

Past Colloquiums have focused on topics such as consciousness, energy, global warming, cosmology, humor, politics and gifted children. The first American Mensa Colloquium was held in 1982.

Colloquiums are open to the public and draw attendees who have an interest in the specific Colloquium topic, as well as Mensans who regularly attend Colloquiums for the atmosphere of learning and intellectual exchange.

Colloquium 2011, Electronic Gaming and Its Impact on Society, will spend a weekend examining the history and future of gaming and its related issues, including positive and negative perceptions and the impact of the medium on our society. This event will be held Feb. 18-20, 2011, in Austin, Texas.

Sponsorship opportunities

Speakers: Colloquiums attract experts to speak on each topic. As a speaker sponsor, you will have top billing as we bring these fantastic minds to Mensa.

Off-site transportation: Sponsor will be guaranteed exposure as several hundred Mensa members are transported around Atlanta.

Meals: Meal time at a Colloquium just means more time to explore the topics. Sponsors will have signage, podium thanks and the opportunity to speak to the group at least once during the event.

Badges: Mensa members often keep badge holders and reuse them at local events and activities. Therefore, sponsor’s name will be seen at this and future events.

Tote bags: Tote bags are not planned for these events. However, if you want to supply a reusable canvas bag, you’ll get full sponsor credit.

Exclusive event sponsorship is available for Colloquium. Email us for more details.
