We love events
We currently meet up in UK (London, Bristol, Oxford, Edinburgh, Manchester), USA (New York, Boulder), Australia (Sydney, Perth), Canada (Vancouver) + globally online.
We host monthly events for members to connect, talk with authors and experts, and share insights, learnings + ideas.
Our global digital events are always interactive + we never use Zoom. When we have a special guest in the room, we blend the virtual with the #irl.
Expect exciting partners to deliver extra special bonus events...
Members get first dibs. Always.
Our digital meetups
High energy x creative tech.
Since 2020, we've offered remote access to the Rebel Book Club event experience.
As a result, we have now been joined by curious minds from 36+ countries around the world. It's incredibly humbling to facilitate the discussion of big-world themes for members globally.
The wonder of nonfiction unites thinkers + doers from Costa Rica to Canada, Iceland to Malawi, the UAE to Guam.
Members are bringing their energy, experiences + wisdom every month - what an incredible thing to be a part of.
RockstarGuests
Authors, scientists, creatives, entrepreneurs.
Our events showcase the best of the best. We're so honoured + thrilled to host some of the finest thinkers around.
In the last few years, we've heard from authors including Seth Godin, Al Humphreys, Dana Thomas, Dina Nayeri, Symeon Brown + Noreena Hertz.
We listened intently to Dame Sue Ion on nuclear power. Dr. Monique Charles inspired us with the cultural context of the #Merky Story. And Geralyn Drefous, Director of The Great Hack, left us well and truly 'Mindf*cked' by her tales of Cambridge Analytica.
You truly never know where it's gonna go!

Hybrid events are the future.
Over the 10+ years Rebel Book Club has been meeting, we have experimented with a number of formats.
We know the pros of in-person meets are the big room energy + the opportunity for deeper connections. And, that the pros of virtual meets are also huge: the diversity of thought, experience + culture, and of course the access to special guests + the club itself.
Since June 2021, we've been experimenting with our event formats. Sometimes we run dedicated digital events to facilitate meaningful online conversations, or broadcast from virtual streams to city hubs and from city hubs to the world.
Our goal is to unite the best of both worlds; connection, collective insights + global access.
Connected by curiosity
A global community of lifelong learners
Every Rebel Book Club event is centred around community + connections.
When you become a member, you are invited to a mix of events each month. Notably, club socials + end-of-month meets. These happen in 10 cities + globally online.
Creative digital platforms keep things interesting, allowing everything from speed dates to drinks in a virtual saloon. These are complemented by good old-fashioned matchmaking and brunch clubs either in-person or online.
The books are really just the beginning...
A few FAQs
The who, what, when, where, how?
We send all event details in our members' weekly newsletters + post them on our private social network. If you're joining in-person in London, we host our events as centrally as possible + always in easy reach of a tube station.
If you're joining virtually, you will register for the event on our platform du jour + follow the instructions in your newsletter. Our virtual platforms are always interactive + creative and enable collaboration for dynamic virtual experiences.
If you'd like to create your own micro-meet with others in your city, we'd absolutely love to connect you.
