Events · THE LIVE Intelligence Group

Not a season of
conferences.
A year of rooms.

Twenty-one evenings a year across five cities · summits, private dinners, retreats and closed sessions. No stages, no badges, no audience. Every seat is placed by hand, and every room is built around a question worth crossing a continent for.

01 / Formats

Four ways to sit down. Each one built for a different kind of decision.

Format 01 120–300 seats · 2 days

Summits

Once a year, the whole network in one place. Working sessions, not keynotes · the programme is written from the questions members send in advance.

The summit floor, warm and unposed
Format 02 18–30 seats

Private dinners

One long table, one question, no phones on it. The seating chart is the entire product · we spend two weeks on it.

Format 03 30–40 seats · 3 days

Retreats

Three days out of the calendar, families welcome. What starts on a walk usually finishes as a term sheet in November.

Format 04 12–18 seats

Closed sessions

Council work under a no-attribution rule. Nothing is recorded, and the note that follows carries no names.

02 / Calendar

The year
ahead

Dates hold; guest lists close six weeks before. Open a row to see who is in the room.

03 / The evening

How a night
actually runs.

18:30

Arrival

No badges, no registration desk. Someone who knows both of you makes the introduction.

19:15

Seated

A chart we spent two weeks on. One question is put to the table and nobody presents.

20:40

The table turns

Everyone moves once. The second half of the night is with a different set of people.

22:00

The part that matters

Standing, smaller groups, no schedule. Most of what we are asked for later starts here.

After

Nothing is published

No photos of the room, no guest list. A short note goes out, carrying ideas and no names.

A ticket buys
a seat.
We place people.
