02 — Roundtable

Continuing series

The Roundtable.

“Between Canons, the Dialogue keeps talking — a standing series of intimate, off-the-record sessions where a dozen leaders take up a single pressing question, and stay until it yields.”

The format

How it works
  • 01

    Twelve chairs

    Deliberately small. Every voice is heard, and no one can hide at the back of the room.

  • 02

    One question

    Each session takes up a single pressing challenge — stated plainly, pursued thoroughly.

  • 03

    Off the record

    Held under the Chatham House Rule, so leaders can think aloud without performing for a headline.

  • 04

    Into the Canon

    What the Roundtable surfaces is carried forward — shaping the agenda of the next Annual Canon.

Roundtables are convened around questions worth a full afternoon. If you carry one, we want to hear it.
