02 · Speak
Give a short talk.
Ten minutes on something you’ve shipped, something you got wrong, or something you’ve changed your mind on. No slides required. The room is small and on your side.
- Shape
Ten minutes, no Q&A on the micQuestions happen at the bar. That’s where the good ones come from anyway.
- Good topics
Specifics beat sweeping statementsWhat you tried, what it cost, what you measured, what you’d do differently. A story, not a framework.
- Not-so-good topics
Thought-leadership theatreIf the talk could be given by anyone at your agency in any month, it’s probably not right for us.

03 · Host
Host a night.
If you run a venue, platform, or office that would fit ~60 people and a couple of microphones, we’d love to hear from you. Hosts curate the evening with us, open with a short welcome, and get to pick one of the two talks.
- You provide
The room, the sound, the barCentral London, ~60 capacity, somewhere with a working PA and a decent bar (staffed or otherwise).
- We provide
The community, the programming, the inviteRsvp list, running order, two talks (one of which you pick), and the door team on the night.
- What it costs you
Your time and the venueWe don’t charge a hosting fee. You don’t charge us.
Offer a venue
04 · Sponsor
Sponsor thoughtfully.
We take on a small number of partners each year — usually platforms, agencies, or publishers whose work overlaps with the community. Sponsorship is light-touch and legible, not a logo slide.
- What you get
A real presence, not a bannerNamed as the partner for an evening, 60 seconds on the mic if you want it, and the conversations that flow from that.
- What we won’t do
Sell the roomNo sponsor pitches from the stage, no pay-to-speak, no email list handed over. We keep the community’s trust by keeping it the point.
- Fit check
Ask yourself a quick questionIf the community would be glad you’re there, we probably have a fit. If not, probably not.
