About this event

In March 1776, Adam Smith published The Wealth of Nations — a book that helped shape how we think about trade, industry, collaboration, and prosperity.

In March 2026, we’re celebrating 250 years of those ideas with a jubilee for thinkers, creators, and anyone curious about how societies build wealth together. This anniversary honors a remarkable moment in history: the rise of industrial innovation, the power of collaboration, and the ideas that influenced modern economies and constitutions.

Join us for an evening of conversation, connection, and celebration. Meet like-minded people, share perspectives on trade, startups, and collaboration, and enjoy great drinks and delicious bites while mingling in a relaxed, social atmosphere.

This is a gathering for curiosity and community — a chance to reflect on the ideas that shaped our world while making new connections that could shape the future. Whether you’re a founder, a thinker, a builder, or just someone fascinated by how ideas create impact, this jubilee is for you.
