There is a new book club in town, asking a thought-provoking question: “If you could have dinner with anyone, who would it be?” If your answer reads along the lines of Canadian journalist Malcolm Gladwell, or British historian Niall Ferguson, then the Bon Mot Book Club won’t disappoint. Their speakers are highly sought after and chosen based on the headline-making topics of our day, ranging from science and innovation, business and the economy, through to religion and spirituality, world affairs, politics, culture, and more.
Leah Costello, founder of Bon Mot, has endeavoured to limit evenings to a maximum of 18 tables, creating a unique opportunity to discuss timely topics with speakers who typically engage audiences of thousands. At $500 a head, attendance isn’t cheap, but the exclusivity and level of intimacy with these in-demand authors is unparalleled.
And Costello isn’t resting there. Bon Mot has added a new genre of tourism to its offerings, including excursions for high level executives wanting access to the world’s foremost political, banking, and policy leaders. Imagine first class travel to Paris, Brussels, London, or Berlin to investigate the economic future of Europe. Bon Mot arranges meetings with VIPs of the European Union, Euro Central Bank, and senior political leaders.
And, with the desire to offer great speakers for every market, Bon Mot launches its debate series this summer, at a much lowered ticket price. These are all unique, and uniquely fabulous, opportunities.
