What are you planning to do on 12th November 2026?

If you are Mexican, you may be preparing to celebrate Día del Cartero, in honour of your mail delivery heroes. 

Or in the USA readying for either National Chicken Soup for the Soul Day, or Pizza with the Works (except Anchovies) Day. 

But if you are in the UK and able to travel to London it’s time for a re-think. Block out that Thursday and trust your instinct. 

The origin story was a meeting in the Jampot (Jamaica Wine House) on St Michael's Alley in the City, one dank January evening. 

Myself and Christian Hunt arguing the finer points on whether Compliance was a weird monopoly and needed more competition, or if their proliferation was a plague. 

We quickly lost interest in the agreeable disagreement, and moved onto a shared gripe.

Being why are most industry events so sh1t? 

And why does the crucial topic of human behaviour and its criticality to risk & resilience, compliance & conduct, performance & P+L get short changed?

Six pints in, full of overconfidence, righteous indignation and IPA, we came to the logical conclusion. We would have to fill the gap. 

Bland corporate venue? Uncheck. Pay to play sponsors? Uncheck. Four pre-rehearsed panellists? Uncheck. Statements of the bleedin’ obvious? Uncheck. 

Cutting edge content, challenging opinions, thought provoking and fun? Check. 

At this point you would normally receive a comprehensive flyer, keynote teasers and a website to relieve you of your money. 

But leaning into the Ikea Effect, we know that you will love that which you have helped curate & co-create. So dust off your Allen key, and help us select the parts to screw together the event. 

We will take you on the journey with us. You will see the zigs & zags, the hits & hitches, the warp & the weft. 

The date and a brilliant & evocative central London venue have been secured. 

Your final presence and ongoing input are welcome.
