  • ALL AGES

Join us for a warm and inspiring evening of conversation and connection around one of the most important questions of our time: how do we stay true to what makes us human in an age shaped by AI?

This is a private event. For the safety and privacy of our hosts and guests, the exact address will be provided via email after you complete your registration.

Co-hosted by Lord Wei of Shoreditch—respected advisor, social entrepreneur, and former member of the House of Lords Science and Technology Select Committee this exclusive event invites you to explore how we can thoughtfully nurture our values, relationships, and freedoms in an era of rapid technological change.

Whether you're curious, cautious, or hopeful about what’s coming, this gathering offers a grounded and meaningful path forward: one that centers humanity, creativity, and compassion in the conversation around AI.

This special evening also supports Families Set Free, a life-changing anti-trafficking charity led by CEO Mike Brickley. Working across developing countries, the organisation frees modern-day indentured labourers and helps them rebuild dignified, sustainable lives. Mike will be in attendance to share more about their incredible impact.

The following day an amazing fundraising event will be held—with proceeds benefiting Families Set Free.

As part of the weekend, Hayes & Fisk Photography will offer a limited number of complimentary portrait sessions on 17–18 May. These exclusive sessions, led by international portrait artists Mary Fisk-Taylor and Jamie Hayes, are available by donation, with the entire creation fee going to the charity. Hayes & Fisk will provide a final fundraising cheque from proceeds raised throughout the event weekend.

Spaces are limited—reserve now for an evening of art, heart, faith, and human connection in the age of AI. The exact address and location will be provided after registration.

Save your seat—and stand for freedom.
