1.0 Seat 31 · hosted by Nomo Creative

Thirty seats. Tables of five. Nobody pitches.

A business evening in Dubai for people who run or build something. You arrive at 6:30pm, and at 6:45pm you sit down at a table of five. Three rounds and between rounds you move tables, so by 8:30pm you have met a dozen people properly instead of three in a corner.

When: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6:30pm to 8:30pm
The seat: AED 130
Included: A welcome drink or mocktail
Alcohol: None. That is deliberate.

6:45PM · ROUND ONE

Who is at the table. Ninety seconds each.

7:10PM · ROUND TWO

Asks and offers. What you could use help with and what you can offer.

7:40PM · ROUND THREE

Tonight's theme, one good question. At 8:10pm the last twenty minutes are yours.

3.0 Good to know

Do I need to know anyone?: No. Most people come on their own. The table rounds mean you meet people from the first minute.
What if I am not a founder?: You are welcome. Seat 31 is for anyone who runs or builds something, whatever your role or stage.
Where is it?: Open air with air conditioning, so it stays comfortable on a warm October evening. The address goes to ticket holders with their confirmation.
Can I come late?: Please arrive by 6:45pm, when the first round starts. The rounds are what make the evening work.
