Your industry, off the record.
Wednesdays at 7:30 PM, near your office. Dinner with five people in your industry, each from a different company.
Same industry.
Never the same company.
Six people who do your kind of work, at six different companies, never two from the same group.
What comes up is how your companies actually work: hiring, appraisals, tools, AI, managers, pay, and where the industry is going. Each week starts with one industry question.
Nobody pitches.
Nobody recruits.
Use what you hear. Never say who said it.
An example
- What you heard
- How appraisals are really decided there.
- Who said it
- Never repeated
- Where they work
- Never repeated
What is said at the table stays at the table. You can use what you learn. You never repeat who said it, or where they work. Break this rule and your membership ends.
Everyone agrees to it when they sign up, and it is repeated in the table chat.
How a week goes
Sunday evening
The invitation for Wednesday arrives on WhatsApp. Answers close on Tuesday at 2 PM.
Wednesday
Morning
The restaurant, and who is coming: role, industry and years of experience. Their company only if they agreed.
6:30 PM
The table chat opens with the week’s industry question.
7:30 PM
Dinner, about 90 minutes.
Thursday
A short feedback form. If two of you pick each other as “would meet again”, you each get the other’s LinkedIn. No one-sided requests.
WhatsApp messages come from oddtables, the team behind OddAfterWork.
Everyone connects their LinkedIn and confirms their work email.
The work email is how we keep two people from the same company, or the same group, apart. Tables are matched on industry, seniority, office area, age, and a few questions about how you talk.
For people roughly 2 to 20 years into work. Not for founders or students.
Near your office, in five cities.
