London, We're Returning
By Mark Perera
London, we're returning.
After our November gathering at Arding Rooms, it was clear this wasn't a one-off.

The room worked in the way we'd hoped: senior buyers and founders, honest conversation, no theatre. No slides. No selling. Just time and space to talk properly about what's changing — and what's not.
“Outstanding — refreshingly honest, with none of the usual corporate fairytales. Because of that honesty, I learned a lot and trusted what I heard. I'd highly recommend it.”
So we're coming back.
On 11 June 2026, Buyers x Builders returns to London — the next chapter of what we started in November.
Later this year, we'll also bring the format to New York for the first time. Two cities, one conversation carried forward — a small number of intentional gatherings, connected by shared questions rather than a travelling show.
The London format remains unchanged: a full day in the room with a carefully curated group of buyers and builders, followed by drinks and dinner.
Chatham House rules apply. What's said in the room stays in the room.
