Join us for Sound Stories, an Open Mic Night at the 2025 Gold Humanism Summit—a space for our community to share personal reflections through music, writing, or performance. This is a celebration of the medical humanities and the humanistic care of patients, brought to life on stage.

Whether you’re a musician, poet, storyteller, or performer, we invite you to share a piece that resonates with the themes of this year’s Summit, “The Person in Front of You.” You can find more about the Summit themes here.

Performance guidelines:

Each performance must be under 5 minutes
Pieces must be connected to the Summit themes
Content should be appropriate for a professional, inclusive, and respectful audience
Please come prepared with a polished and thoughtful piece

This is your moment to connect with your community in a powerful and creative way. Share your experiences, your voice, and your creativity — help us make this night one to remember.

Spots are limited, so be sure to claim yours before they’re gone!
