INDEX 01
MEMBERSHIP
Membership.
Three ways in, one standard throughout. Every membership includes the rooms, the programme and the people — the tiers only change how far they reach.
All prices include VAT. Membership is billed annually and pauses gladly for parental leave and sabbaticals.
INDEX 02
WHAT MEMBERSHIP HOLDS
Included, at every tier.
01
Thoughtful introductions
Every month we introduce two members who should already know each other. Most of them agree.
02
Private events
Suppers, roundtables, studio visits and listening sessions. Small by design, never recorded.
03
Beautiful places to work
The Reading Room from eight until ten, with the archive wall and the good coffee.
04
Member-led dinners
The Long Table is yours to book. Eighteen seats, an open kitchen and your guest list.
05
Global reciprocal access
Partner clubs in New York, Copenhagen, Lisbon and Tokyo, one email away.
06
A community with standards
Every member is vouched for. No audiences, no lead lists, no personal brands at dinner.

QUESTIONS
Asked often, answered honestly.
How do applications work?
Tell us what you are building, exploring or hoping to contribute. Every application is read by the membership team and one current member. Most people hear back within two weeks, and every conversation happens over coffee, not a form.
Do I need a referral?
No — around a third of members arrived cold. A referral from an existing member speeds things up, but a good application stands entirely on its own.
Can I bring guests?
Yes. Guests are welcome in all three rooms and at most events, and every guest is a participant — we don’t do audiences. Global members can bring a guest to any event, including suppers.
What if I move cities?
Local membership travels with you between our cities once a quarter; Global membership doesn’t notice you’ve moved. Reciprocal clubs cover a growing list of everywhere else.
Can I pause my membership?
Gladly — parental leave, sabbaticals and strange years all qualify. Your number stays yours; nobody inherits 042 while you’re away.
