🏆 Thursday TEA Cups Deliberations
"Where recognition begins: cross-generational dialogue on real impact."
Where observation becomes recognition.
Thursday Deliberations are at the heart of the TEA Cups Community. These intimate, invitation-only gatherings bring together a cross-generational panel of board directors, governance professionals, individual investors, and sharp-eyed nextgen influencers to reflect on corporate engagement practices that truly stand out.
Purposeful yet informal, each session is designed to surface honest insights - no lobbying, just real impact observed and discussed.
Capacity:
20 guests at 1 Poultry (hybrid option available)
5 guests at satellite Soho House, Ned and RSA locations
Expect lively, intelligent conversation - and perhaps a few unexpected insights on the old rules of recognition. Drinks and nibbles.
🍵 Wednesday Afternoon TEA

Midweek reflections over a pot of possibilities.

Each session will be theme-based and led by a pre-nominated guest of honour and an event chair.
