We do lots of different things. We throw parties (and axes!), we go to art galleries, we go to scientific lectures… and bars, restaurants, breweries, plays, movies, and parades. We gather to talk about stuff. We play-test new board games. We take our kids to the zoo. Check out some of these examples:
If you’re a Mensa member (any chapter in the USA), you can check out the calendar in our Capital M newsletter (current and back issues) or in the Upcoming Events section of our website.
We host a large Regional Gathering every August (we descend on a hotel for a weekend for presentations, games, hospitality and fun!). Some of us travel to attend nearby Regional Gatherings, and some of us travel to the Annual Gathering, which is a gathering of ~2k Mensans from across the US, and has a lot of fun activities, including Misster Mensa competition (check out our own Morgan Halvorsen, below, competing for the crown!)
