Enlightenment Evenings: Party Poopers
 |
Join us for another event in our series of Enlightenment Evenings on Wednesday 29th May
We're delighted to be hosting Senior Entrepreneur and Investor, Luke Johnson (Former Chairman of Pizza Express, co-owner of Gail's Bakery) and CEO of the Night Time Industries Association Mike Kill on our panel alongside the ASI's Sam Bidwell and Mimi Yates: co-authors of our new knockout paper, 'On The Rocks: London's Nightlife in Crisis'.
London has long had a global reputation as one of the greatest cities to eat, drink and make merry. But now its nightlife scene is in crisis, and our hospitality sector is stifled by puritanical licensing laws and sky-high operating costs.
Come along to hear us how we can help our pubs, restaurants and great cultural institutions to flourish, and how we can truly make London a 24 hour city.
Following the panel discussion, there will be an audience Q&A.

Special Lecture: Why Read Adam Smith in 2024?
 |
Ahead of Adam Smith's birthday, we're delighted to be hosting Erik Matson, Deputy Director of the Adam Smith Programme at George Mason University, for a special lecture.
Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations was central to the development of modern economics. This lecture will make the case that reading Smith's texts 301 years after his birth is still worth our time.

The Next Generation: Julia Willemyns, UK Day One
 |
We are thrilled to announce that on Tuesday 4th June the Adam Smith Institute will welcome Julia Garayo Willemyns, Founding Co-Director of UK Day One Project, for The Next Generation drinks.
A bit more about these meetings:
At TNGs, we throw our doors open to Westminster’s finest to enjoy a political discussion over a few glasses of (free) wine. Open to parliamentary staffers, journos, SpAds, consultants, and even the odd civil servant, TNG is a place to network, chat, relax and always feature great remarks from our guest speaker. Whatever your politics, we just like interesting ideas and we hope you do too. It’s for under-35s, it’s informal and we normally end up at the Marquis of Granby.
Please note this event is for under-35s.
