Lanserhof at The Arts Club
Longevity: What’s Missing?
Record your sleep. Measure your blood sugar. Drink red wine. Don’t drink red wine. Take metformin, resveratrol and regular ice baths. Longevity is the biggest trend in health and wellness at the moment, with apps, wearables, supplements and influencers all vying for our attention, but what are the hidden essentials that can actually keep us healthier for longer? And what should we measure and prioritise as individuals?
Prof. Sunil Kumar and Prof. Larry Kramer
President of Tufts University; President of the London School of Economics
The Role of Tertiary Education
We bring together the Presidents of two of the world’s leading universities, each of them immensely accomplished academics with exceptional track records, to discuss the future of tertiary education, the role of universities in addressing the major challenges our societies face, and the complexities of campus politics.
Sonia Purnell
Biographer
Kingmaker: Pamela Churchill Harriman's astonishing life of seduction, intrigue and power
Sonia joins us to discuss the remarkable life of Pamela Harriman. There is practically no-one in twentieth-century politics, culture and fashion whose lives she did not touch. From seducing Americans during World War II at the behest of her father-in-law, Winston Churchill, to plucking Bill Clinton from obscurity and vaulting him to the presidency, her influence knew no bounds.
Sophie Hackford
Futurist
The transformation of agriculture - the role of AI, autonomous robots, space assets, and a lot of compute.
Will each of the 4 trillion seeds in the US corn market have its own ‘prescription’ for fertiliser, pesticide, planting? How will space assets orchestrate food production on Earth? Will autonomous equipment change the shape of farming? How are better indoor and outdoor location technologies bottlenecks for food production? Sophie will explore the opportunities presented to agriculture as the industry grapples with a changing climate, desperate demographics, and novel technologies.
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.
