Afterwork Talks With Purpose
OTC's Monthly Free Event!
An evening of meaningful conversations at The Wheelhouse
Join us for a new format of our monthly Afterwork series — one that goes a little deeper. Instead of just mingling, we're opening the evening with a short talk by an inspiring guest speaker, followed by an open conversation with the room. The goal is simple: create a space where ideas land, questions get asked, and the people around you surprise you. Same community, same warmth — with a little more to chew on.
Most of us spend more time planning our holidays than we do thinking about whether our work actually means something to us. In this event we're changing that — a 30-minute talk, an open conversation, and a room full of people willing to go there.
THE ULTIMATE WHY
Because purpose isn't a luxury, it's the difference between a career you tolerate and a life you're actually building. This evening is an invitation to start asking better questions.
WHAT TO EXPECT
A 30-minute talk by Susana Albuquerque on aligning life purpose with career
An open, facilitated conversation to explore the theme together
Meaningful connections with a community of curious, driven people
A relaxed afterwork setting — come as you are, stay as long as you like
Food and drinks not included — order whatever you like on the night
VENUE - Wheelhouse
Tucked in the heart of Lisbon, Wheelhouse is the kind of space that makes you exhale the moment you walk in. A wellness and community hub built for real experiences — crystal-charged floors, warm lighting, a tea lounge, and an atmosphere that slows you down just enough to actually be present. We chose it because the room does half the work.
TIMELINE
19:00 — Doors open. Settle in, say hello.
19:30 — Talk begins with Susana Albuquerque
20:00 — Open conversation
21:00 — End of the evening
Note to guests: We will provide the space for our members. Food & Drinks will not be included as part of the booking, and guests will be responsible for covering their own orders during the event.
MENU
Wheelhouse is an alcohol-free space, and no outside food or drinks are permitted. On the night, grounding snacks — think energy balls, nuts, fresh fruit and hot teas — will be available for all participants. Come hungry for conversation, the rest is taken care of.
