What is "The Big Table"?

Launched in 2016, The Big Table® is a day dedicated to community-wide conversations. Through intentional dialogue and connection, participants are encouraged to imagine the next steps toward a kind and just future for all. The Columbus Foundation provides a Host Guidebook and materials for the conversation, but each host makes the discussion their own. Meeting new people, sharing our lived experiences, and actively listening are crucial steps toward building a kind, connected central Ohio region where everyone has a seat at the table.

Why?

As neighbors with interconnected lives in an ever-changing, increasingly polarized, and fast-paced world, we can choose to slow down and listen to one another to prepare for whatever tomorrow may bring. Socially connected communities are more trusting, resilient, prosperous, safe, and healthy. Being ready for the opportunities and challenges ahead starts with widening our circles and listening to understand.
