A MONTHLY GATHERING FOR CURIOUS MINDS

A SALON, IN THE BEST SENSE

Big ideas.
Small gathering.

Some of the best conversations happen when we step out of our routines and into a room full of curious people.

Plum Salons is a monthly speaker series bringing together professionals, broadly aged 40 and above, to explore art, culture, history, politics, technology, and the questions shaping our world.

We're imagining a cosy wine-bar setting, with around 40 guests, an interesting speaker or two, and plenty of room for different perspectives. Come with a friend, or come on your own. Curiosity is all you need to bring.

THE RHYTHM OF THE EVENING

Three lovely acts.

A familiar format.
A fresh conversation, every month.

01 / SETTLE IN
◡

First, a drink.

Start with cocktails and easy introductions. Settle in, catch up, and meet a few people you haven't met before.

02 / GET CURIOUS
✳

Then, an idea.

A guest speaker, or a small group of speakers, opens up a subject worth exploring. A new perspective to turn over together.

03 / JOIN IN
" "

Now, over to you.

Questions, reflections, and a lively exchange. Our Q&A makes space for your curiosity—and for conversations that carry on afterwards.

WHY "PLUM"?

plum/plʌm/adjective · British, informal

Something rather wonderful.

As in a plum job. Something good, desirable, worth having. We think an evening of great conversation deserves the same word.

SOMETHING GOOD IS COMING
