What is the eiClub?
Editorial Intelligence is a private members club which provides the ideas, connections and contacts that professionals need to thrive in today's hyper-connected world. Likened to a "brain spa", the club runs regular events that are consistently sell-out affairs.
Big names and rising stars in law, management, public policy, science, technology, the arts and more keep coming back because they find the events, fronted by a consistently "stellar cast" of top thinkers and commentators, to be "utterly brilliant", "thought-provoking", "stimulating" and, in the words of the FT's indomitable Mrs Moneypenny, like "intellectual viagra".
“ei provides the ideal stimulus for those who want to think afresh.”
Octavius Black, Global Managing Director, The Mind Gym
“ei allows me to access people and their ideas which I'd never have the time to discover on my own.”
Jag Singh, Founder, MessageSpace
Members attend regular facinating debates and discussions across the year, where they can make hundreds of new connections.
Our cast of speakers have included Professor Simon Schama, commentators David Aaronovitch, Simon Jenkins and Daniel Finkelstein, Lionel Barber, editor of the Financial Times, Diane Abbott MP, Tessa Ross, Head of Film and Drama at Channel 4, Alain de Botton, philosopher and writer, John Cridland, Director General of the CBI, Harvey Goldsmith CBE, Chairman of Ignite, former Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling and Lord Wolfson, Chief Executive of Next plc. The high calibre of speakers is maintained event after event, ensuring that members are always guaranteed a lively, informed and thought-provoking discussion.
As one of our members, Brigitte Trafford, Director of Corporate Affairs at ICAP says of eiClub events, "They're hard to miss!"
Members also receive the ei Digest - a daily email snapshot of UK comment and opinion mailed to their inbox by 9am.
Unexpected connections: One of the great benefits of being an eiClub member is the wide range of people you get to meet. Channel 4's CEO David Abraham has commented on the value of the "unexpected connections" you can make at eiClub events, meeting people from five distinct professional worlds: media, digital and technology; business and management; policy and politics; culture and the arts; and, science, medicine and the environment.
Personal Intelligence: Our top tier Personal Intelligence membership will be getting a makeover in early 2012 - check back here for more information coming soon!
