“The systemic problem we have is that systems thinkers don’t know each other, and this is a problem we can solve over dinner.”

— Jonathan Brill

By Communities

  • Curious Cocktails

    Submit a personal challenge in advance that gets posted around the space anonymously alongside those of other attendees. Move around the space, and if you spot a challenge you can help with, write your name next it. Enjoy conversations about the challenges, and after the event you will receive an introduction to those who can help.

  • Next Question Dinner

    Burning questions about something you’re itching to solve, a connection you’ve been trying to make, how to pursue something you’ve been curious about, or anything else? Submit your question in advance, and have it read aloud anonymously to a table of thoughtful change makers who might have the answer to your next steps.

  • Digital Serendipity

    Want to enjoy Serendipity from home, across borders, or during mid-travel? Submit a personal challenge and your preferred discussion topic, join a breakout room for your topic of choice with other change makers who chose to discuss the same thing, and close the session by entering digital responses to people you can help.

At Conferences

While strong networks exist within geographies and within conference communities, they don’t exist between them. We link existing global leadership networks to build trust and remove blockers to changing the world.

We bring together groups of 50-100 leaders at major business events around the world, with the goal of starting to link their networks and ability to cut red tape. At each salon, we discuss a question, the most important question that participants can start to solve in 90 minutes. In the process, we seek to build trust, strong social bonds and provide immediate, practical value for all participants with the intention of opening their network to goodwill  – to increase the chances of new serendipitous and impactful connections.

We collaborate with leading businesses to increase serendipity at global innovation events.
