About this event
A great dinner can do more than fill a calendar slot. It can put you at a table with people who are building, questioning, investing in, and thinking seriously about what entrepreneurship looks like in the real world. Fides Entrepreneurship Dinner W/Tim Busch is designed for exactly that kind of evening: thoughtful conversation, real connection, and a setting that makes it easier to talk honestly about business, ambition, and purpose. This is not a loud mixer where everyone trades the same quick introduction and moves on. It is a more intentional in-person gathering in New York, built around shared time over dinner and the chance to hear from Tim Busch in a format that feels personal, grounded, and useful. About the Event At its core, this event is a community-centered entrepreneurship dinner. The combination of food, conversation, and a featured guest creates a different kind of networking environment from a typical panel or cocktail hour. Instead of trying to squeeze meaningful discussion into a crowded room, attendees will have space to settle in, listen closely, and engage with people who care about similar questions. The presence of Tim Busch gives the evening a clear focal point. Whether you are actively building something, exploring a new venture, or simply interested in the intersection of entrepreneurship, leadership, and values, the event offers an opportunity to hear perspective in a setting that encourages reflection rather than performance. Because this is a dinner, the format naturally supports stronger interaction. Meals create rhythm: people arrive, get comfortable, talk in smaller groups, and move into broader discussion with more ease. That matters if you want conversations that go beyond surface-level networking. Expect the tone to be social but purposeful. The event is meant to bring together people who want a real exchange of ideas, not just business cards. If you value rooms where people are curious, engaged, and willing to talk substance, this format is likely to feel like a good fit. What to Expect The evening begins Thursday, March 26 at 7:00 PM EDT in person in New York, USA. From there, the experience is likely to unfold as a dinner gathering rather than a tightly programmed conference, which is part of the appeal. You can expect the night to balance structure with conversation. A typical flow for this kind of event may include: Arrival and informal mingling as guests settle in Dinner and table conversation with fellow attendees Featured remarks or discussion with Tim Busch Opportunities for questions, reflection, and follow-up conversation Additional networking as the evening opens up naturally What makes this especially useful is the setting itself. Conversations over dinner tend to be more candid and more memorable than quick exchanges at stand-up events. You are more likely to learn how someone actually thinks, what they are building, and where you may genuinely align. You should also expect a room with a mix of motivations. Some people will come to meet peers. Some will come to hear from Tim Busch. Others will be looking for perspective, encouragement, or a sharper understanding of the entrepreneurial path. That variety often makes for better conversation because it brings multiple angles to the table. Why Attend If you spend a lot of time around startup and business events, you know the difference between high-volume networking and meaningful connection. This dinner aims for the latter. It gives you a reason to show up not just to be seen, but to think, listen, and build relationships with people you may actually want to stay in touch with. There is also value in hearing entrepreneurial insight in a more intimate environment. Large stages can be inspiring, but smaller gatherings often produce the moments people remember: the question that reframes a problem, the side conversation that sparks a collaboration, or the introduction that leads somewhere important weeks later. You may leave with: New relationships with founders, professionals, and community-minded peers A clearer sense of how others are approaching entrepreneurship and leadership Useful perspective from Tim Busch in a setting that invites nuance A stronger connection to a local in-person community in New York Conversations that continue after the event, rather than ending at the door This event may be especially valuable if you are looking for a room that combines ambition with thoughtfulness. The dinner format makes space for both practical business conversation and the bigger questions that often get lost in faster-paced networking settings. Practical Details Location: In person in New York, USA Date and time: Thursday, March 26 at 7:00 PM EDT This is an in-person dinner event, so expect a more relational atmosphere than a drop-in meetup. Plan to arrive on time so you can settle in and be part of the evening from the start. Showing up at the beginning will help you get the most from both the dinner conversation and any featured discussion with Tim Busch. Because the event centers on food, community, and networking, it is best approached as a full evening commitment rather than a quick stop. If you are deciding whether to come, ask yourself a simple question: do you want a better conversation than the one you usually get at standard networking events? If the answer is yes, this dinner is likely worth your time. Bring your curiosity, your perspective, and a willingness to engage. The people who get the most out of gatherings like this are not necessarily the loudest in the room; they are the ones ready to have a real conversation.
