London's think and drink night. Handpicked speakers on ideas worth hearing. Just might change how you think.

Join us at The London Art Bar for The Ideas Open Mic — Black History Month Special, London’s think and drink night. Handpicked talks in bars where brilliant people share the ideas that excite them most. Think TED talk meets pub night.

For this special edition, we’re platforming speakers of Black and mixed heritage, with talks centred on Black history, culture, experience, and identity. Storytellers, academics, entrepreneurs and curious minds take to the stage for 15-20 minutes each. Every application is reviewed and selected based on quality, variety and fit, so the evening is always worth your time. We’ll be revealing our speakers closer to the date. Watch this space.

Come along, grab a drink, and leave having heard something that just might change how you think.

Doors open at 7PM, talks from just before 8PM at The London Art Bar, London.

Co-produced by Gareth Lewis Events and Lance Casely-Hayford.
