Concord is a series of irl events where founders share the stories behind offline, human-first businesses.

Think stuff that AI can’t replace: cabins, craft schools, irl-dating platforms, retreats, small farms, third places, off-grid ideas, and anything built for connection in the real world.

You arrive, check in and meet a few people.

A founder speaks for 20 minutes about what they’re building.

Then we break out into small group conversations.

People usually stay for a drink afterwards.

You can find upcoming events on our luma calendar here: ➡️ Concord events

We host in pubs, studios, workshops, and community spaces in London (launching in new cities soon!)

The exact address is sent once you’ve got a ticket.

Not at all - though if you're building something, or thinking about it, this is the room for you. You just need to be curious about human-first businesses and want to meet the people making them real.

Most venues have non-alcoholic drinks, mocktails, tea, or snacks available.

Yes. We don’t sell tickets at the door.

Concord was created by Rory Oxenham and Joe Brettler. They wanted to meet people building stuff in the real world.

They named the community after a small town in Massachusetts where Thoreau and Emerson lived. A place that gave rise to ideas about simplicity, nature and inner truth. (It also means ‘hearts together’. Nice stuff, that.)
