Books, Bites & Big Fun: An Evening of Ideas, Laughter & Networking

Get ready for a night where learning meets laughter — 52 floors above the city skyline! In partnership with Philadelphia ATD, Meet the Author presents an evening filled with energy, insights, and FUN.

The program kicks off with stand-up comedy from host and Emmy Award winner, Theresa Hummel-Krallinger, to get the laughs rolling. Then, two dynamic local authors — all seasoned speakers and trainers — will each deliver a TED Talk–style presentation packed with stories, ideas, and inspiration.

Before and after the talks, enjoy networking and noshing with fellow professionals, while visiting each author’s table for book signings and conversation.
