From Its Time to Think New York

One question, eighteen minutes, and a room that argues back. Food and a drink are included in the ticket This month, Drew Seskunas opens the conversation. He gets eighteen minutes. Then the room gets him. HOW IT WORKS 18 minutes. One speaker, one idea, no slides, timed. Not a lecture — a starting gun. 45 minutes of open dialogue. Anyone can jump in. Push back, disagree, ask the awkward question. Closer to a great conversation among friends than a Q&A. Then the best part. Music, food, drinks, and time to keep the conversation going. This isn't simply what happens afterwards — it's usually the reason people come back. It's where the conversation breaks into smaller groups, numbers get exchanged, and people who disagreed an hour ago turn out to be friends. **WHAT'S INCLUDED** · Light bites · Drinks throughout · No rush to leave · A room full of people who'd rather talk about something real than talk about work **WHO COMES** Curious people. That's the whole filter. People building their lives in New York who are tired of conversations that stay on the surface and would rather spend a Sunday talking about something that matters. You don't need to know anything about the topic to take part — just come ready to think, listen and ask good questions. Bring your people, or come on your own. Plenty do, and nobody stays a stranger for long. November 8 · 12:30 PM · KALINER GALLERY 42 Allen St, New York, NY 10002 Food and drinks included. **SO WHAT IS A THINKGLAO?** A Thinkglao is a pause button for modern life. Part talk, part gathering, part long conversation you didn't know you needed. It exists for people who are tired of noise, speed, and conversations that never go anywhere. For a few hours, the idea is simple: stop, think, ask better questions, and meet people willing to do the same. Thinkglaos are built for free people in noisy times: gatherings where disagreement doesn't have to mean distance, curiosity matters more than performance, and being human together still feels possible. You don't come to be told what to think. You come to think with others.
