Lost Boy Cider is launching a Monday night speaker series called “Lectures on Tap” and seeking professors, subject matter experts, and passionate speakers to present to the community.
The Alexandria cidery at 317 Hooffs Run Drive plans to host the educational series Monday evenings, providing a platform for knowledgeable speakers to share their expertise with local audiences.
“Are you a professor or a subject matter expert, or someone who’s just really passionate about their industry and their field?” owner and founder Tristan Wright said in a video posted to the cidery’s Instagram account.
Wright said he needs “pro-level speakers” who are comfortable presenting to audiences and have presentations ready to deliver. He is building a calendar for the remainder of the year and encourages qualified individuals to contact him directly.
The speaker series welcomes presentations across diverse fields including history, science, art, business “or something completely unexpected,” according to the cidery’s Instagram post, as long as speakers can “spark curiosity.”
Lost Boy Cider will provide the venue, microphone, and audience for the presentations. The cidery asks speakers to bring their expertise, personal stories, and unique perspectives.
“We’ll provide the space, the mic, and the audience. You bring your expertise, your story, and your perspective,” the Instagram post states.
Wright specifically targets individuals who enjoy speaking in front of audiences and said he has a particular vision for the program.
The cidery also seeks community assistance in identifying potential speakers. Wright’s video and the Instagram post ask people to share the opportunity with qualified participants.
Interested speakers can contact Lost Boy Cider through direct messages on Instagram to discuss participation in the series.
