• Table Talk

    Spectrum Autism Support Center 2997 Main St, Duluth, GA, United States

    Table Talk has become so popular that we’re introducing a lottery system for male participants to keep things fair and fun. Female participants can continue signing up as usual using the form on this page once registration opens.

    For male participants. To join, simply register between 8 - 10 a.m. on Sunday, November 16 by filling out the form below. Adding your name to the lottery gives you a chance to attend the next Table Talk, but it doesn’t guarantee a spot.

    If you’re selected, we’ll email you a link to confirm your spot. You’ll have 24 hours to complete your registration and make a payment—after that, the seat will be offered to the next person on the list.

    Please note that registration is by event, so you’ll need to sign up again for each Table Tent event if you’d like to be considered. This helps us keep Table Talk welcoming, organized, and open to those truly excited to join the conversation.

    We’re so grateful for the enthusiasm around Table Talk and can’t wait to share another round of meaningful conversations with you!
