Every December, Ashcombe Hall fills with five thousand members, sixty speakers and three days of barely controlled energy. Last season was our biggest yet — here are the ten moments people are still talking about, and a preview of what returns this year.
The keynotes that landed
The opening speech on the future of gathering set the tone: connection as a discipline, practised deliberately. Day two's leadership keynote had the main hall on its feet, while the closing awards ceremony — honouring standout members, partners and volunteers — left barely a dry eye in the room.
Workshops worth repeating
The hands-on product sessions sold out within hours, the pricing roundtable ran forty minutes over because nobody would leave, and the founder showcase introduced three startups that have since raised funding from people they met in the audience.
What comes back this year
Seven of these ten moments return in expanded form this December, alongside six brand-new studios and a dedicated quiet floor. If you only read one recap before booking, make it this one — then come and make your own top ten.
