Thinkglao in New York City

How do we bring humanity back in a world that often feels increasingly disconnected? That’s where we begin.

Thinkglao is a night to think, question, and connect: an 18-minute talk, open dialogue, then drinks and bites.

You walk in without knowing exactly where the conversation will go. One question sets the direction and unfolds live.

This Thinkglao in New York marks the beginning of a rhythm. From now on, one will take place every two months, creating a regular space to stop and think in New York City.

This edition features Bo Lewke.

Drawing from his experience working with people, communities and human development, he will take on the opening question live, thinking out loud for 18 minutes before opening the conversation to the room.

What are Thinkglaos?

A Thinkglao is a pause button for modern life. Part talk, part gathering, part late-night conversation you didn’t know you needed.

You walk in, sit down with a drink, and listen to one person think out loud for exactly 18 minutes. No slides. No slogans. Just ideas.

Then comes the good part: the questions. Forty-five minutes of open dialogue where anything can be asked and nothing is off-limits. No panels, no filters, no algorithms deciding what matters.

And when the thinking is done, the night keeps going. Music comes on. Food comes out. Drinks flow. Strangers turn into companions.

Thinkglaos are built for free people in noisy times, small gatherings to stop, think, disagree well, and enjoy being human together.
