  • G4G Weekly Socials

    Our weekly Socials are held on Saturday at 1 pm Atlanta time (check the time for you here). We are using the Zoom Meeting platform here (not Zoom Webinar as we do for our monthly CoM presentations on the 21st). So for these Saturday socials we will all be able to see each other.
    Upcoming Sessions:
    Sat 11 Oct – Nancy Blachman on G4G 2025 Fall Benefit Auction 
    The  G4G 2025 Fall Benefit Auction starts on October 11.

    Nancy Blachman will host a Q&A about the auction items and the auction itself.


    The G4G 2025 Fall Online Benefit Auction is taking place October 11 – 18, 2025.  Now is the perfect time to get gifts for the holidays, birthdays, and other occasions! Unique items in the auction include International Puzzle Party (IPP) puzzles, notebooks, and books. Proceeds fund G4G16 scholarships, virtual Celebration of Mind talks, and other outreach initiatives.
    
VIEW EBAY ITEMS (starting Oct 11 at 1 pm ET / 10 am PT)

    Sat 18 Oct – “Rediscovering Martin Gardner’s Mathematical Games column from Scientific American” Sat 25 Oct – TBD
We welcome theme suggestions for the G4G Weekend Socials. Would you like to lead such a social, perhaps with a fresh look at a favorite Martin Gardner column (or book)? A  piece on critical thinking? A miscellaneous theme? Please contact us.

  • Virtual Celebration of Mind

    We continue our series of online seminars, Virtual Celebration of Mind, that started in 2020. The sessions are at 12 noon Atlanta time (check your time here) held on zoom webinar, here.

  • G4G15 Videos

    As for past G4Gn videos of the flash talks presented at the Gathering will be shared publicly on the web. We are uploading new videos weekly to our YouTube channel. You can find the latest videos here.

  • G4G Tributes

    We continue to update and maintain multiple tribute pages. In this we hope to honour and remember the many who have made the G4G community the remarkable group it is. As well as to inspire and connect those who build on the shoulders of these giants. We welcome and encourage any contribution to these tributes.
