Join us at The London Art Bar on Wednesday 16 December to wave goodbye to 2026, one slide at a time.
Whether it’s your year in review or a topic you could talk about for hours, this is your five minutes. Make a short slide deck (Google Slides, Canva or PowerPoint), take the mic, and tell us about it.
It’s The Ideas Open Mic meets Pitch Your Friend.
Why we’re doing
this
Every year I do a PowerPoint night with my school friends about our
year. It’s one of my favourite evenings, and I thought it would be
even better with more people in the room, and a chance to see
strangers cheer each other on.
Want to
present?
Tell us what you got up to in 2026. Or tell us what you’re obsessed
with right now, whether that’s a show, a hobby, a theory, or
anything else. Five minutes, around 10 slides, and no expertise
needed.
A presenter ticket includes your slot plus up to two guests, so you’ll have friends in the room cheering you on. Anything goes, as long as it’s kind.
Just want to
watch?
Sit back, enjoy a drink, and see what everyone’s been up to.
Doors open at 7PM, slides from
7:30PM.
Send your slides to hello@garethlewis.co by 10PM the day before. Arrive close to 7PM if you can, so we can check the tech.
Questions or accessibility needs? hello@garethlewis.co
So, what was your 2026?
