Promoting free speech and the art of debate since 1815, this extraordinary society has hosted talks by the most prominent people in public life and the arts as well as business leaders and, although steeped in history, the venue is perfect for showcasing those whose ideas push the boundaries of innovation. You really won’t want to miss a moment.
