CBMM’s Speaker Series brings discussion about Chesapeake-related topics. Held biannually, both the Fall and Winter Series feature a number of speakers connected to a central theme or current exhibition. Speaker Series events vary, but often include talks by industry experts, discussions with community members, performances by local artists, and screenings of relevant films. Each event lends something new to conversation, and will leave you with a greater appreciation for the people and environment of the Chesapeake Bay.
