Thank you. Your request is with me.

신청해 주셔서 감사합니다. 48시간 이내에 직접 연락드리겠습니다.

Not a seat yet, and I would rather be straight with you about that. There are eleven, I read every request myself, and I hold to no two direct competitors at one table. So this takes a little time.

You will hear from me personally within 48 hours, either way.

Hold the evening

While you wait, put a placeholder in your diary. If the answer is yes, you will not want to be moving things around.

화요일, 2026년 9월 8일 저녁 일정을 미리 비워두시길 권해드립니다.

Date Tuesday 8 September 2026

Time 6:30 PM, finishing at 9:30 PM

Venue Congdu Myeongdong (콩두 명동)

서울 중구 명동7길 13 호텔28 6층

Getting there Sixth floor of Hotel 28, a few minutes on foot from Myeongdong Station. If you are coming by car, Hotel 28 Myeongdong is the landmark to give.

Dress code Smart casual. Smart casual. No tie, no logos, no lanyard. A jacket over a shirt or a fine knit.

Tailored trousers, or a dress. Leather shoes, or clean minimal trainers.

Come as the leader you are, not the suit you wear.

If your seat is confirmed

You will get everything in one place: the full details, a note on who else is at the table, and a question about dietary requirements so the kitchen knows before you arrive.

A few days before the evening I will tell you a little about the other ten, so you walk in looking forward to specific conversations rather than starting cold.

Who else belongs at this table?

If someone came to mind while you were reading, tell me who. A founder or CEO with Europe somewhere in their thinking, and the kind of person who says the true thing at dinner.

Reply to my email with a name, or send it to me on LinkedIn. I would rather hear it from you than find them myself.

Before September

Connect with me on LinkedIn, so we arrive as familiar faces rather than strangers.

See you at the table, I hope.
