The Commonwealth Club is a nonprofit public forum on the Embarcadero that hosts an almost daily run of author talks, interviews, panel discussions and documentary previews. Most programs take place in the Toni Rembe Rock Auditorium or the Taube Family Auditorium, with a book signing often following. Many talks are also livestreamed, but tickets here are for the in-person seats.
