Spotlights

In the face of intensifying market demands, AI disruptions, and ongoing social and environmental crises, companies and their leaders are under unprecedented pressure to foster radical innovation and high performance while maintaining sustainable relationships with self, community, and the environment.

Finland, the world’s happiest country, is a leader in service-oriented leadership, offering unique insights into today’s organizational challenges. Rather than relying on internal competition, individual champions, or mechanistic designs of agility, Nordic leadership approaches are characterized by low hierarchies, trust, a no-frills attitude, and respect for humanistic values.

Join us at the Consulate General of Finland in New York for the Nordic Leadership Afternoon, where top experts will share insights on human flourishing, and the new wave of Nordic leadership, and discover practical tools to enhance your business practices.

• Guest registration 2:30-3 PM

• Event at the Consulate 3 PM-5:45 PM

• The evening continues with a networking reception (6:30 PM- 8:30 PM) at the official residence of the Consul General of Finland in New York by Central Park.

This event venue will have tight security, and non-approved attendees will be turned away.

The Ivy++ & FAANG++ series is BACK! This time with our Summer Soiree, which is set to be an unforgettable evening of elegance, dancing, and networking among the brightest minds from the world's most prestigious universities and companies.

This exclusive event will take place at a cool lounge in New York which we have booked out, promising a magical backdrop for like-minded business, finance, and tech professionals from FAANG++ companies and graduates from Ivy++ schools to connect, share ideas, and create new memories.

We will have green/red/yellow wristbands to indicate single/taken/complicated for personal status, and also name badges for different functions such as founders, VCs, product, engineering, sales & marketing - so you can better meet people for professional or personal reasons 👀

Tickets for entry are $20 per ticket🎟️

Thu, Sep 12, 7:30 PM: Bouldering @ Brooklyn Vital

Our sports series continues to branch out, now featuring bouldering! We will be meeting before the event for dinner, followed by the chance to step out of your comfort zone and traverse some walls with fellow professionals in tech, business, and finance 🧗🏼‍♂️

All skill levels are welcome, so come and join the fun whether you're a seasoned climber or new to the sport!

Tickets are $35 for a day pass and the gym closes at 11 PM ET so everyone is welcome to stay until the end to maximize climbing time.

We're back for the fourth iteration of curated dinner with strangers - this time with a twist that we're experimenting with!

(1) Mandatory Verification: Supermomos will gather 6 FAANGs* for you to have dinner with at a surprise restaurant

(2) 🙅🏻‍♀️$100 No-Flake Deposit: We realized that even with a $16 cover charge, some people would flake, which does not make for a good experience for everyone else at the table. In order to prevent that, we are charging a $100 deposit which you will get back when you show up!

🎫$16 Cover Charge: There will still be the usual entry ticket charge of $16 which will not be refundable. Dinner is not included in the ticket price.

The total amount charged for this event will be $116 but the $100 deposit is fully refundable after the event when you show up 😊

Dinner location will be revealed to you 1-3 days before the event date. Restaurants will serve entrees at price ranges of under $30.

We will share fun conversation prompts & starters for the intimate dinner.
