WHY BOOK JAMS?
To "jam" is to improvise music without extensive preparation or predefined arrangements.
We jam on ideas from great books.
No pre-work required.
Just show up, have fun, and build on each other's ideas.
WARNING: You might leave with a new book on your reading list!
WHAT TO EXPECT
Every event has a dedicated topic and special guest.
We explore handpicked ideas from multiple books, then circle up for a group discussion and a little debate.
It ends with a social hour to mingle with other attendees.

WHY JOIN?
All the benefits of a book club without reading the books.
Meet authentic people, learn something new, and get inspired to act.
Oh yeah, great vibes too.
Events are hosted in unique spaces to help the attendees immerse in the ideas and connect with each other.
HOSTED BY
SMARTER GROWTH
As lifelong booklovers and champions of big ideas, we found ourselves with more books on our list than time to read them all. This led us to create Slightly Smarter, a free newsletter enjoyed by 50,000+ curious leaders that spotlights essential ideas from top books. Smarter Growth is our business offering where we help organizations grow their people and business through expert-led working sessions, coaching and consulting.
