No standing around, no pitch decks - just real talk over a shared meal.
October 14, 2026 | 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM

🧥 It's a rooftop so bring a warm jacket

🧭 Deep Tech Over the Table
We’ve shaped the evening around topics that help skip the small talk and get straight to the conversations that actually matter. Pilaf has become the go-to culinary format at tech gatherings.
Historically a symbol of hospitality and shared success along the Silk Road - where merchants, scholars, and innovators exchanged not just goods, but ideas and breakthroughs - our chef built it around communal platters with aromatic spices, designed to be shared.
📍 Street parking only.
📍 Rooftop Access Instructions will be received after the approval.
About BeGlobe
BeGlobe PR Agency
Dreaming of Financial Times covering your round instead of a paid mention nobody remembers by Monday? That's where BeGlobe comes in — the agency built by Julia Sabitova and Ira Tatevosyan, which has spent the last decade-plus turning complex tech, from AI and HealthTech to Web3 and SaaS, into stories that get journalists, investors, and the organizers of Web Summit, CES, and WEF lining up. And it comes with a bonus: access to the IT&VC Unicorns community, 3,000+ founders and investors strong, where the right introductions just happen. In short, a solid team for founders who want more than PR — they want results: funding rounds, partnerships, and real industry recognition.
BeGlobe has placed clients in Financial Times, CNN, The New York Times, The Guardian, Bloomberg, TechCrunch, Forbes, and Cointelegraph, and secured founder speaking slots at Web Summit, CES, World Economic Forum, Milken Institute Global Conference, TechCrunch Disrupt, Slush, London, New York, and San Francisco Tech Weeks.
With offices across ten cities, BeGlobe handles funding announcements that need to land in US and European press simultaneously, go-to-market campaigns for brands entering new geographies, and founder visibility programs that compound over time.
