The First Thinkglao in New York with Sohrab Ahmari

This is the first-ever Thinkglao in New York—and the beginning of a rhythm. From now on, one will happen every two months, carving out a regular space to stop and think in the middle of the city.

A Thinkglao is a pause button for modern life. Part talk, part dinner, part late-night conversation you didn’t know you needed. You walk in without knowing the topic, sit down with a drink, and listen to one person think out loud for exactly 18 minutes. No slides. No slogans. Just ideas.

Then comes the good part: the questions. Forty-five minutes of open dialogue where anything can be asked and nothing is off-limits. No panels, no filters, no algorithms deciding what matters.

And when the thinking is done, the night keeps going. Music comes on. Food appears. Beers are opened. Strangers turn into companions.

Thinkglaos are built for free people in noisy times—small gatherings to stop, think, disagree well, and enjoy being human together.

Your ticket includes food and drinks, because thinking goes better when shared around a table. And to start strong, the first 50 tickets are $25—a small price for a long night of ideas, conversation, and good company.

Info: Grab some snacks and crack open that first drink while you ease into the vibe.

Info: Sohrab hits us with 18 minutes of pure mind-stretching. The topic? Total surprise.

Info: Ask anything, challenge anything, all in total freedom.

Info: Music + dinner & drinks open bar. Honestly… what more do you want?
