Where We Host
The Format
An evening designed
for real conversation.
01
The Invitation
Each dinner is invitation-only. Guests are curated for professional relevance and intellectual diversity — typically 15–20 executives from Chicago's most active industries.
02
The Headliner
Every dinner features a headliner executive — a founder, CXO, or investor with a story worth hearing. They open with a brief fireside chat, then the room takes over.
03
The Fireside Chat
A moderated 20-minute conversation with the headliner, followed by an open Q&A. No slides. No pitches. Just honest answers to questions that actually matter.
04
The Dinner
A private chef dinner in Gold Coast townhouses and private dining rooms in River North. The conversation continues over the meal — unstructured, organic, and often more valuable than the formal program.
