How you get in

Admission is granted, not sold.

Most things can be bought. Attendance at Proof of Talk cannot.

The most desirable room in the industry is the one money cannot open. We do not sell attendance. We review people. We do it so that you have the best experience you have ever had at a conference: every person you meet is a decision-maker worth the introduction.

Every attendee is individually reviewed and approved. Partnerships grant participation rights, not admission, and nominees meet identical standards.

  1. What is this?

    A summit at the Louvre Abu Dhabi, December 3 and 4.

  2. How do I get in?

    You do not buy in. You apply. A human decides.

  3. Wait, I cannot just pay?

    Correct.

  4. Am I the kind of person who gets granted?

    One way to find out. Request your place.

What the room says

We never called ourselves the best. They did.
