An evening of real connection & conversation at Aerlume — by Rising Team
A Different Kind of Executive Dinner
Join us for an intimate dinner with senior leaders from a range of companies to spark thought-provoking conversations and build meaningful connections.
“That dinner was just amazing. It really lifted my soul. What a wonderful gift.” — LinkedIn CMO
Designed for Deep Human Connection
On February 24th, we’ll gather at Aerlume, a beautiful waterfront restaurant on Seattle’s downtown pier, with wide-open views of Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains. The space is bright and modern, the hospitality is warm, and the food is the kind you actually remember: seasonal, elevated, and perfect for lingering at the table.
Over a four-course meal, you'll join small tables for moderated discussions led by executives from diverse companies, with engaging prompts—most of which won’t be about work—to spark authentic conversations and connections.
“I really appreciated how you facilitated the evening around personal stories rather than work talk — it made the evening truly special and one to remember.” — Walmart VP
