Together with my friends Oli Barrett, Stephen Wrentmore and Trish Stevenson, I'll be hosting an evening called We can't go on meeting like this.

It's on September 6th, 6 for 6.30pm till 8.30pm. Somewhere in Central London, exact venue to be confirmed.

This emerges from my experience of all sorts of events of late. I think there may be a gap in the market for something that allows us to meet in ways that are more satisfying. The focus is on connecting with others in engaging ways - without resorting to formats of expert speakers or simply pouring drinks, putting on music and hoping for the best.

We're hoping this will become a regular thing, and a chance to play with different meeting formats.

It's free, and we're limiting places on this first one to 30 and we'll see how it goes. Hope to see you there, I think it might be fun. And please tell your friends. Register here.
