Theme: The Invisibles

These talks address those invisible but ever present parts of our existence that we may avoid in our everday lives--worry, failure, popular culture's reflection of humanity, selfishness, and human interaction with the environment. Our speakers will present new and interesting takes on familiar topics.

An independently organized event, our Ogden area presenters will discuss topics geared towards a high school and adolescent audience. Children under age 8 are not recommended to attend.

The event will be held in the auditorium at Weber High School, and seating starts at 5:30 p.m.

Be there.
