2 Overview Our Mission Bringing together social entrepreneurs, investors, creatives, business leaders, policy-makers and civil society, The Conduit acts as a catalytic platform for individuals tackling some of the most pressing challenges facing us today. Our members share the belief that the world s most significant problems can be viewed as opportunities for entrepreneurial solutions, and that knowledge, skills, technology and capital can lead to transformative impact. Our building has been designed to nurture creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship. The Conduit s Programme will showcase solutions and engender a better understanding of the trends, opportunities and geo-political forces shaping our world.

3 The Building A historic location in the heart of London built with passion, purpose, and perspective. The Conduit inhabits an 8 floor neoclassical building in the heart of London. Our location has a noted history that resonates with our current purpose. Conduit Street derived its name from the pipes, laid in 1236, that carried water from sources in Hyde Park through the Conduit Meadows to supply the city. Our street has played a historical role in facilitating life and commerce and we hope to continue this tradition by nurturing and sustaining London s growth.

6 Food THE RESTAURANT We are delighted to announce that Merlin Labron-Johnson will be the Executive Chef of our 4th floor restaurant. One of the youngest chefs to receive a Michelin star for his imaginative, modern cooking, Merlin shares our passion for sourcing and sustainability and is creating a menu that is refined and produce-driven. Merlin is currently devoting personal time to cooking at the Refettorio Felix centre for the homeless, and contributing to the Chef s Manifesto in support of the UN s sustainable development goals. SUSTAINABLE SOURCES The Conduit is working closely with the Sustainable Restaurant Association to ensure that we adhere to the most rigorous sustainability practices whether it s the seafood certified by the Marine Stewardship Council sourced from renewable stocks that sustain the marine environment, or the coffee we serve from small producers in South America. GUEST CHEFS The Conduit s guest chef program will feature at least four prominent chefs per year. Our first guest chef will be Massimo Bottura, one of the world s most creative and socially responsible culinary figures. In September 2018, he will be serving members and their guests a menu from the acclaimed Osteria Francescana in Modena. Massimo is committed to addressing the issues of food waste and hunger; together with his non-profit organisation Food for Soul, he founded Refettorio Felix at St Cuthbert s, the community kitchen that uses surplus ingredients to create meals for those living in socially vulnerable conditions. Part of the proceeds from his residency at The Conduit will go to Food for Soul. FOOD PHILOSOPHY Our talks series will highlight topics ranging from nutritional neuroscience to restaurants as a force for good, and we are establishing training workshops with international partners such as Gastromotiva, who use the power of education, food and gastronomy as social change agents. We will bring businesses and changemakers together around key issues of sustainability, and host wine tastings from unusual vineyards, artisan masterclasses and round-table discussions with food professionals. DRINKS AND DISTILLERIES We are embracing the original and experimental in our drinks program. Working a diverse selection of producers we will stock everything from organic and biodynamic wine to small batch distilleries to elegant vintage spirits. Using these specialised products, our bar team are creating innovative wine lists and drinks menus to be enjoyed throughout The Conduit.
