A series of private, invitation-only gatherings in Toronto. We host a small number of evenings each season: suppers, tastings, private viewings and late evenings, each in a setting chosen for that night.

Toronto professionals who would rather spend an evening in good conversation than in a crowded room. Our guests come from many fields; what they share is curiosity and generosity with their time.

Invitations are shared personally. If someone has passed this site on to you, they can give you the invitation code.

Enter your invitation code, then complete the short form with your preferred name, email, age group and gender. We will email you a link to confirm your address. Once you press the confirm button on that page, you are registered.

You only need to enter the code once on each device; it is remembered for 30 days.

Register first. Then open the gathering on the Events page, enter the email you registered with and press "Reserve My Place". We will email you a link to confirm. Once you press it, your place is reserved.

If your plans change, the email confirming your place has a link to cancel, so we can offer the place to another guest.

It usually arrives within a few minutes. Please check your spam or promotions folder. Confirmation links expire after 48 hours; if yours has expired, simply register again with the same email and we will send a fresh one.

Only to organise our gatherings: to confirm your email, to know who our guests are, to keep each evening balanced by age group and between women and men, to reach you by phone about a gathering you're attending if you gave us your number and, if you asked, to tell you about upcoming gatherings. We never sell or share it for marketing. The privacy policy explains what we collect and why.

Use the "Manage my registration" link in the email we sent when you registered. It lets you stop emails about gatherings or delete your details at any time.
