### **This is not a public event.** On April 5, we’re gathering a **small, curated circle** of entrepreneurs, founders, and professionals in Dubai. No mass invites. No open access. No random crowd. **Why people come** Because most networking events don’t work. Too loud. Too superficial. Too many people who shouldn’t be in the room. We do it differently. **What happens here** No pitches. No сцен. No forced conversations. Only a carefully selected group where connections happen naturally — through presence, not performance. **Chess & backgammon?** Just an excuse. The real value is the room. And who is sitting across from you. **Event details** 📅 April 5 🕖 19:00–22:00 📍 Dubai (location shared after confirmation) 💎 Limited capacity 🔒 Approval required **Contribution** 💎 **100 AED — charitable contribution** This is not a ticket. It’s a filter. It ensures the right people in the room. **Important** We do not aim for quantity. We protect the quality of the circle. Once the list is full — registration closes. **If you feel this is for you — apply now.** **If you hesitate — it’s probably not.**

In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected.

Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia

We will hike the Ridge Trail and Meadows Trail twice, for a total of 3.8 miles. There are some pretty good inclines so plan on getting a cardio workout :). This is a loop which is pretty easy to follow; thus faster walkers can take the lead and the rest (like me) will bring up the rear at a slightly slower pace. You could also just do the loop once for 1.9 miles. No one left behind. Optional lunch to follow in Canal Winchester. I'm working through the metro parks - this is the third one!
