Upcoming Events

Pi brings to its members an exceptional and uniquely broad programme of events throughout the year with the world’s most authoritative and exciting speakers. Usually intimate breakfast, lunch and dinner events, we have temporarily moved our events online due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Pi speakers span the range from established global leaders — past Presidents of the United States and general Secretaries of the United Nations — to top cultural, economic and scientific figures.
We identify trends as they emerge and always ensure that our members are informed on the most pressing issues of the day.
