About Bright Nights

There's no shortage of things to do on a given evening. But most of it is noise. Bright Nights exists to help you find the signal — the lecture that changes how you think, the panel that introduces you to an idea you didn't know you needed, the recorded talk you'll be quoting for months.

What we do

We curate two things: upcoming live events (lectures, panels, cultural talks) happening in cities around the world, and recorded talks worth watching from platforms like YouTube, TED, and others.

Every listing includes a curator's note explaining why we picked it. We're not an aggregator — we're a filter. Quality over quantity, always.
