NSL hopes to make lifelong learning easy and flexible for anyone with a passion for ongoing education and thought-provoking conversation. NSL was co-founded by Anne-Cecilie Engell Speyer and Beth Kojima in order to facilitate the connection between experts and individuals interested in learning.

NSL took the model of old school salons and extended it to achieve a culture of conversation. We are proud of the breadth of content and depth of information that NSL offers.
