About: This bingo card perfectly captures the quirky, sometimes chaotic energy of an academic conference or department seminar, where technical hiccups and offbeat professor antics unfold alongside familiar phrases and playful interruptions. It's a lighthearted way for graduate students, early-career researchers, or faculty to bond over shared experiences while adding some fun to long research presentations.

Step-By-Step:
Start by getting the Symposium 26’ PDF by clicking on the "Print" button above.
Open the PDF and print a hard copy.
For random calling, you can print another copy of the call list, cut, fold and then pick them randomly at play time.
Cut the bingo cards at the cut marks if there are more than 1 bingo cards per page.
Give one card to each player. For marking, you can use pens. Crayons are the cheapest.
Select one person to be the caller. If you are playing in a small group, the caller can as well play along with their own Bingo card.
The caller initiates the game by randomly picking an item from the call list and calling out it to everyone.
The players scan their cards to see if they have the called word. If they do, they mark that word.
The first player to complete a horizontal, vertical, or a diagonal line of marked items yells "Bingo!" and wins the game.
The caller validates that the items marked form a correct line according to the Bingo card and call list.
You can play for multiple patterns or a full card blackout for a longer game.
