About this Event
How to get to our new venue
If you haven’t visited us yet, we’re located underneath Barking Riverside Station. When you come down the stairs, take the exit on the right, then turn right again. You should hear the music and see us, we’re just a one-minute walk away.
On Thursday 17 September, we’re joined by Isaac and Low Peters, founders of Gist | THE GAME — a card game designed to help people connect through thoughtful questions and meaningful conversation.
In a world where meeting new people can feel harder than ever, Gist offers a simple, fun and low-stakes way to get past the surface and actually get to know each other.
For this special One Room Talks session, Isaac and Low will share the story behind Gist, their creative journey and what it’s really like to build something from scratch. They’ll talk about the decision to focus on human connection, the highs and challenges of entrepreneurship, and what they’ve learned along the way.
Gist has been featured in The Indepndant and their individual pages have reached 100,000+ views on TikTok — and we’re excited to have the founders with us for an exclusive Gist session.
Expect good conversation, thoughtful questions, new connections and a chance to understand yourself and others a little better.
If you’re looking for inspiration, curious about entrepreneurship, or simply want to meet people and have deeper conversations, this One Room Talks is for you.
