Welcome to Intrigue Events!

The space for geopolitical discussion and exploration is often relegated to dusty rooms, with jargony conversations, and one too many uses of the word 'tripolarity.' At Intrigue Media, we're here to change that.

On July 24th, we hosted an event at the Australian Embassy in DC, "How Internet Culture Shapes Our World: Memes, Deep Fakes, and Virality," with some incredible guests in tech, social media, the private sector, and government.
