There is a specific kind of magic that happens when you sit with the right people. Next Tuesday, at St. John Smithfield, we are bringing together a hand-picked group from the Tech and Venture world to navigate the reality of building and operating right now. Expect meaningful conversation, brilliant company, and exceptional food. We are joined by Orators members Stephanie Irwin, Rebecca Emery, and Marcos de Souza. Typically, these dinners are strictly for members. However, for this evening, we are opening it to the wider network of our guests. Drop a comment below or DM us directly. As this is a curated "best fit" dinner to ensure the conversation flows, we are prioritising guests connected to our current attendees.

In the age of cancel culture, algorithmic echo chambers, and AI-generated misinformation, genuine dialogue has become rare, and risky. We've lost the ability to disagree without negating each other, to debate without demonising, to change our minds without losing face. We will explore, how to (re)learn having meaningful disagreement. What does productive debate look like when everyone's armed with their own "facts"? And can we create spaces where curiosity trumps certainty? Share with us your most memorable cancelled moment and how you'd approach it differently now. Interested?

Are original thoughts about to become a privilege of the few? For the first time in human history, we can outsource our thinking. AI doesn't just extend cognition - it simulates it entirely. How do you use AI as a tool for creative expansion rather than mental atrophy? How do we protect the slow, effortful work of original thinking? And how do we avoid creating a world where having your own ideas becomes a privilege instead of a universal human ability? Sounds interesting? Join us for a conversation about the future of creativity, cognition, and what it means to think for yourself in the age of artificial intelligence.
