About our Events
Turing Circle organises events relevant to LGBT+ individuals working or studying in STEM related fields here in Sydney.
Our regular event is our monthly Pub Social, where you can mix with like-minded scientists, engineers and technologists in a friendly and relaxed setting. You'll find us each time at a LGBT+-friendly venue in and around the inner city and inner west.
In addition, we also run a variety of other events both on weekends and weekday evenings, such as:
- our (very popular) pub trivia nights
- exhibition visits to art galleries and museums
- weekend brunch
- picnics / BBQ
- hikes
You can browse our previous events further down this page.
If you are elsewhere in Australia, and are interested in running a Turing Circle meetup in your city, please get in touch.
The best way to find out about our upcoming events and news is to subscribe to our monthly newsletter.

Have a great day!
