About Event

Behind the scenes of the future

You are invited to join us—artists, makers, researchers, founders, writers, engineers, dreamers, and everything in between—for an insider’s look at the passion projects we’ve been working on.

We are sharing it all with you. Ideas at their earliest stages, what it’s like to make stuff from scratch, the breakthroughs, the hard times, why we did it, what’s next, and of course, the projects themselves.

It’s a science fair x hockey game x dinner party x film-fest x conference x campfire all in one.

Space is limited. ​You must RSVP to attend this event - this will help us manage how much food to get + other logistics!

Doors open at 5:30 PM

Coming to Waterloo: https://welcome.socratica.info/

Getting There Together

Just a 15-minute walk from campus! Don't want to walk alone? Join one of our walking groups and start making friends before you even arrive:

🚶‍♂️ Walking Groups (5:30 PM)

  • CMH Cafeteria

  • Icon South Tower Lobby

  • E7 First Floor - C&D

  • V1 Caf

  • United College Cafeteria

Look for hosts wearing Socratica merch at each meeting point! Each group will take a 15-minute ~scenic walk~ to the venue together.

The Host Mindset

The Symposium is a celebration where everyone plays a part! When you join us, you're more than just an attendee; you're a host, a friend, a potential collaborator. We expect everyone to:

  • Welcome newcomers like old friends

  • Ask questions that spark imagination

  • Share in the collective joy of creation

  • Leave the space better than you found

  • And if you see someone standing alone in a corner, go be their friend!

See you soon!! 😁✨💯🎉🔥

​What is Socratica?

​⁂ Socratica is an open collective of makers, artists, founders, researchers, designers, and everything in-between. A safe space for our shared love of making things.

You deserve to be here. We know it can be intimidating to start (we’ve been there). Great creative work is historically done together, across backgrounds and disciplines, in small, high trust groups. We’re at our best together, and you are invited. Ɛ>
