What we're about

San Francisco Regional Mensa is the Bay Area chapter of Mensa, the most well-known High-IQ group in the world.

We are a group that enjoys meeting with each other for any number of reasons, such as lectures, discussions, dinners out, or just having fun.

Although our chapter hosts events that are for Mensa members only, we also host events that are open to the public.

This "Friends of San Francisco Regional Mensa" Meetup group is open to anyone in the Bay Area who is curious about Mensa and would like to attend events that we host that are open to the public.

Currently, nearly all of our events are online only, due to the pandemic, but we plan to host in-person events in the future.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are a current member of Mensa, we encourage you to join our members-only San Francisco Regional Mensa group (https://www.meetup.com/SFMensa/).
