Join us for an evening of practicing forecasting skills. We will first review/learn core concepts (inside/outside view, reference classes, confidence interval calibration). The second half of the evening will be spent on practicing forecasting questions in small groups.
If you can bring a laptop or phone, it will help with looking up resources and answers.
No background knowledge is needed, just an interest in improving your predictions. We’ll provide relevant context, definitions, etc. If you’re interested in joining, please RSVP so I can plan for enough drinks & snacks.

7:00pm—Arrive, mingle
7:20pm—Announcements, then break into groups
