Welcome,
Your next level isn't a strategy. It's a room.
I host rooms full of people on your wavelength — gathered to reconnect with each other, and with themselves. The rest follows.
Welcome,
I host rooms full of people on your wavelength — gathered to reconnect with each other, and with themselves. The rest follows.
An intimate dinner for marketers — what's actually working, off the record.
The most interesting marketing happening right now isn't being published — it's being quietly practised. For one evening, seven marketers sit at one table and say the quiet part: how the work actually gets made now. You'll leave with more than you brought. What's said stays at the table. What's learned leaves with you.

The evening
Curated dinners for technology — engineering, marketing, creative, founders, executives. Each table gathers around one theme. New rooms open wherever a good question gathers people.
Join the waitlistPut your brand behind a table where tech's best actually talk. Sponsors are chosen for fit — if your brand belongs in the conversation, it belongs at the table.
Sponsor a roomA talk is positioning at its purest — one idea, placed so precisely that people carry it out the door and repeat it at dinner. Keynotes, panels, firesides and closed rooms.
Speaking, with a point
A decade in tech has taught me one thing that outlasts every strategy: the right people change everything. So I build the rooms where they find each other.
Rumi said it best: “What you seek is seeking you.” The opportunity, the knowledge, the perspective, the person who changes your trajectory. It's already out there. The hard part is finding it.
That's why I created The Rooms.
Intimate, curated dinners bringing people across technology, marketing, design, engineering, and product together around conversations worth having.
We've been to enough events where we're the product. Here, you're the point, not the pipeline.
Come for the conversation. Leave with a network, a fresh perspective, an opportunity, or an idea that moves.
The right room can change everything.
Have a question worth gathering people around? Tell me.
Let's talk
Curated, intimate dinners for people in technology — engineers, founders, marketers, creatives and executives. Each room seats a small table around one theme that matters to your craft, right now.
No pitches, no panels, nothing for sale. One table, the right people, and the kind of conversation that never makes it online.
An intimate dinner for marketers — what's actually working with AI, off the record.
Event details & RSVPNew rooms open wherever a good question gathers people. Tell me who you are and where you are, and you'll hear first when a room opens for your craft, in your city.
Sponsors are chosen for fit. If your brand belongs in the conversation, it belongs at the table.
Most conference talks are content. Slides recited, platitudes exchanged, a room full of people checking their phones. I don't do those. A good talk turns an audience into a room — one idea, placed so precisely that people carry it out the door and repeat it at dinner.
I speak about what I live: why the right people change everything — your work, your energy, your trajectory — how the work actually gets made with AI now, and a decade of GTM inside high‑growth tech, taking Lumin from start-up to global scale.
And underneath every talk, the same conviction: your next level isn't a strategy. It's a room.
The right people — why connection beats strategy, and how to build the rooms where it compounds.
AI, quietly practised — what marketing teams actually run behind the case studies.
Positioning — making complex products instantly legible to the market they're chasing.
Reconnection — wellbeing, energy, and staying yourself inside high-growth tech.
Keynotes, panels, fireside chats and closed-room sessions — on stage, in boardrooms, or at a long table over dinner. Chatham House welcome.
A good talk doesn't fill an hour.
It follows people home.
Who this isn't for: slots that just need filling. I speak when there's something worth saying.
Book me to speakThe Rooms are curated, intimate dinners for people in technology — engineers, marketers, creatives, founders and executives. Each room seats a small table around one theme that matters to that craft, right now. The mission is simple: the right people change everything, and the rooms are where they find each other.
A small table, curated rather than first come, first served. Dinner and wine at a considered venue, under Chatham House rules. Themes run with the crafts: marketing and AI, engineering, design, the founder's table, the executive one. New rooms open wherever a good question gathers people.
Sponsorship that's part of the room, never wallpaper — the table carries your name.
Named credit everywhere the room appears: the invitation, the event page, and the night itself.
A seat's-eye view of your audience — hours of real conversation with senior people in tech, not impressions counted in milliseconds.
Fit-first curation: I match sponsors to rooms where the brand genuinely belongs in the conversation, so the association works as hard as the logo.
Tell me where to send the details and I'll share The Room Sponsorship pack.
