Nerd alert: The Institute for Science Origins is hosting the first ever TEDx Salon in Cleveland in honor of the 100th anniversary of Einstein’s invention of General Relativity on Friday, Nov. 20. The event will include a seven-hour marathon with games, prizes, and demos as well as a City Club Forum.

Guests are not required to stay for the full seven hours, but if you’re super geeked about the theory of relativity, you just might want to. 

The TEDx Salon will consist of TED Talk videos by famous scientists and group discussion. Doors are at 11:30 a.m. and the event begins at 12:30 p.m. and ends at 6:45 p.m. at the Tinkham Veale Center, Case Western Reserve University.
