One table, before the year closes. No program and nothing to buy.

A hosted lunch in early December before Christmas for executives, friends and TheSircle participants. No keynote, no slides, no sponsor thank-you, nothing on sale. One question for the table, then a conversation that runs past the point where anybody planned to leave. By invitation. Hosted by Michal Bay (Merino Mill) and Carlos Salum.

DESCRIPTION:

Before Christmas, a private lunch for the executives, friends, clients and TheSircle participants who moved through the year’s rooms. There is no keynote, no presentation, no recap of the year and nothing to buy. Carlos opens with one question for the table, and then gets out of the way.

The tradition goes back to 2009: a small number of people who think for a living, one governing question, one table, and an evening that consistently outlasts the plan.

This edition is larger because the year was larger, and because the people who came through the free sessions of TheSircle Special Events in October and November should meet each other properly rather than in a lobby.

Guests are welcome to bring one person whose company they would enjoy at the end of a long year. That is the only criterion.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

• Anyone who attended one of the four earlier sessions.

• TheSircle participants, past and present.

• Executives and owners from the Charlotte region.

• Clients and colleagues of Salum, Enventys and Merino Mill.

• One guest per attendee, chosen for good company.

TAKEAWAYS:

• A year of relationships in one room, unhurried.

• One question worth an entire conversation.

• Introductions made in person, among peers.

• No commercial content of any kind.

• The year closed with doers and thinkers.

Free to attend. Limited Seating. Lunch is hosted in full.

By invitation, with a firm seat count and an RSVP date, because the kitchen needs a number. Each guest may bring one person. There is no presentation, no ask and nothing on sale at any point in the evening.

NOTE: Our format focuses strictly on decision-makers. Attendance is reserved exclusively for corporate executives and does not extend to consultants or service providers. No exceptions.

Strategic Clarity First. Breakthrough, Always.
