When the Going Was Good: An Editor's Adventures During the Last Golden Age of Magazines
Graydon joins us to tell of how he made his mark as one of society’s most talented editors and shapers of culture, having arrived in New York from Canada with little more than a suitcase. At Vanity Fair he assembled one of the best-ever stables of writers and photographers under one roof, cementing its place as the epicentre of art, culture, business and politics. Charming, candid and brimming with humour, he perfectly captures the last golden age of print magazines from the inside out.

Jeremy Hunt
Former Foreign Secretary and Former Chancellor of the Exchequer
Can Britain Be Great Again?
Is Britain a minor player, marginalised by our departure from the EU and dwarfed by the rise of new economies? Or is there a major role for us to play in a rapidly changing international order? With rising global tensions and superpower competition, the UK’s role matters. Jeremy Hunt, reflecting on his diplomatic career, explores whether Britain should retreat or champion freedom and democracy in an uncertain future.

Who we are
Pi Capital is a membership club that connects both people and ideas.
We act as a source of information and inspiration for our members, today’s most dynamic and engaging business leaders. Members come together for inspiration, to build connections both within and beyond their areas of work, and to gather information and insight across an ever-expanding range of topics.
What we do
Pi’s core activity is hosting events for our vibrant community.
These are intimate gatherings that enable real interaction between speakers — drawn from the highest echelons of economics, finance, science, technology, arts and culture, government, philanthropy and academia — and members. Some members also choose to participate in investments sourced by Pi.
