Thank you for your interest in inviting the University of Wisconsin–Madison into your community through Badger Talks. It is our honor and privilege to help spread the Wisconsin Idea across our great state by engaging Wisconsin residents on topics they care about and sharing the latest discoveries of UW faculty, staff and graduate students.
It is our goal to bring the University to you to help spark ideas and conversations on topics important to you. Whether you want to learn about building a culture of innovation, growing plants native to Wisconsin, the war in Ukraine, the possibility of life on other planets, or get updated on the latest ground-breaking health care research, we can find a speaker for you.
We encourage you to explore our list of categories, or search for speakers/topics using keywords via the search bar, and then submit an online talk request. Please contact us if you would like assistance with identifying a speaker who matches your organization’s interests.
On, Wisconsin!
This is such a great program. Patrons are so excited when one of your professors comes to talk. Getting adults to come to a program can be challenging, but your speakers always pack the house. Thank you for making them available to us!

Badger Talks was a great way to connect our staff to UW-Madison. As many of our staff are not alumni of UW-Madison it was a great reminder of the incredible resource that is only a few miles away.
