Join Us for an Exclusive Executive Workshop & Evening
Connect, Create & Recharge
The Ortus Club and Glean invite a select group of AI executives and senior leaders to an evening unlike any other. Set in the heart of London, this intimate, invitation-only gathering trades conference rooms and cocktail receptions for something altogether more memorable — a hands-on terrarium workshop, informal food and drinks, and the kind of unhurried conversation that only happens when brilliant people are given space to breathe.
The Topic
Connect, Create & Recharge
The best ideas rarely emerge from structured agendas and slide decks. For leaders navigating the pace and pressure of AI innovation, the opportunity to step back, create something with your hands, and talk openly with peers is increasingly rare — and increasingly valuable.
This evening is designed around that insight. Hosted by Glean, it brings together a curated group of AI executives and senior leaders for an experience centred on meaningful connection, creative thinking, and genuine peer exchange. The terrarium workshop is the setting, not the subject — a shared, tactile activity that naturally lowers barriers and opens up conversation.
The result is an environment where fresh thinking can surface, relationships can form authentically, and leaders can reconnect with the kind of curiosity that drives innovation.
