Abstract

Amid complex global challenges and the need for informed public discourse, science outreach is more important than ever. The Pint of Science International Festival, held annually each May, convenes scientists, educators, and philosophers with the public in an informal pub setting to foster dialogue on contemporary scientific topics. Since 2012, it has welcomed over 785,000 attendees across 500 cities in 27 countries. Established in 2014, Pint of Science USA has expanded to 16 cities by 2025. This report highlights the festival’s U.S. growth, shares the 2025 National Team’s experiences, and provides a map for future growth in the United States.
