Announcing... AdamCon!
Where interesting people go to find other interesting people
Can you engineer the perfect day with friends? I'm not sure, but AdamCon is my attempt at making it happen.
AdamCon is a one-day event designed around meeting new people in booked 1:1 conversations. We expect 50-100 interesting people from Adam's extended network to attend - find your next best friend, partner, job, cofounder, or just someone to grab a drink with.
→ I don't know what this is but I love it. I'll be there.
The Details
- When: Saturday 16th August, 11am-6pm
- Where: National Theatre, London (indoor/outdoor spaces)
- Format: 1:1 conversations from a directory of awesome people
- Vibe: Playful, energetic, high-agency people doing interesting things
→ Woah the pretty pictures have convinced me, I wanna come!
How It Works
- Fill out your profile - Name, bio, what you're hoping to get out of AdamCon
- Browse the directory - See everyone else's profiles, find people who look interesting
- Book your meetings - Reserve 25-minute time slots with other attendees
- Show up and talk - No awkward mingling required - just follow your schedule and have real conversations
- Fill the gaps however you want - Join impromptu group lunches, hang out by the Thames, or book more last-minute meetings
(For people that have used it, this is very similar to SwapCard networking.)

Other questions you might have
Who's invited?
AdamCon is open to anyone who wants to meet new people and have interesting conversations. If you know Adam, you should sign up! If you don't know Adam, but you like the sound of this, you should sign up too!
(You're also very welcome to send on this invite to friends, colleagues, or anyone else you think would enjoy it.)
When do I need to register by?
Registration closes when we hit capacity. Sign up early to avoid (severe) disappointment.
How will the matching actually work?
We'll either get/build a fancy booking platform or just have a Google Sheet with Calendlys - depends how many of you actually sign up.
Do I have to come for the whole day?
Nope! The event will run from 11am-6pm, but you can drop for just some of this if you want. We'll have some way to mark your availability so people only book time with you when you're actually there.
What if I don't know anyone?
AdamCon is designed for people who want to meet new people! You'll be able to find others who are also looking to connect.
What can I eat/drink?
AdamCon won't be providing food or drinks, so feel free to bring your own or grab something nearby! There's a ton of great options in and around the National Theatre.
How much will it cost?
It's free! AdamCon is a passion project, not a money-making venture. If you want to support it, just show up and have fun.
(at least that's the plan - we'll let you know if it changes)
Can I stay overnight?
If you're travelling a long way for AdamCon, we'll have a few spots at Adam's place for people who want to crash overnight. Let us know in your application.
I have other decision-relevant questions!
Contact Adam. Or just sign up and wing it.
