In Conversation with Dr. Cal Newport (via Zoom)

Registration via Zoom required: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/QekQY1DeROCiL80vn4Cv3g

Join us for a fascinating Q&A with Cal Newport, a Professor of Computer Science at Georgetown University and a leading voice on the intersection of technology and ethics. As the New York Times bestselling author of eight books—including Deep Work and Slow Productivity—Dr. Newport’s work explores how to live and work with intention in an increasingly distracted world.

Beyond his books, which have sold over three million copies, he is a regular contributor to The New Yorker and host of the Deep Questions podcast. We invite you to be part of the conversation: you may submit questions for Dr. Newport via the registration form or contribute them live during the event.

This event is part of our 2026 Beyond the Page – an initiative designed to broaden our imaginations and understanding of our world, our neighbors, and ourselves through the joy of sharing a good book.  The featured book Exhalation contains nine stunningly original, provocative, and poignant stories, where author Ted Chiang tackles some of humanity’s oldest questions, along with new quandaries only he could imagine.
