About this event
Some conversations stay with you because they open a door into a life, a body of work, or a way of thinking you would not have reached on your own. Khāndani-hā – 3 brings that kind of conversation into the room with Mana Khosrowshahi, in dialogue with moderator Mazdak Daneshvar, for an evening built around thoughtful exchange, shared attention, and real connection. If you value cultural conversation that feels intimate, intelligent, and social rather than formal or distant, this gathering is worth making time for. About the Event Khāndani-hā – 3 is an in-person community event in Den Haag that centers on live conversation. At its core, this is a moderated session featuring Mana Khosrowshahi, guided by Mazdak Daneshvar, with space for the audience to be part of the atmosphere and exchange. The tone suggested by the series title and format is one of closeness and curiosity: a room where people come not just to listen, but to be present for a meaningful encounter. This is not a conference-style program with competing tracks or a networking event where conversation stays at the surface. The draw here is the focused format: one featured guest, one moderator, one room, and a shared moment around ideas, experiences, and perspective. That makes the event especially appealing for people who enjoy hearing a conversation unfold in real time rather than consuming polished summaries afterward. Because the event is tagged across community, networking, meetup, social, and other, it sits in a useful middle ground. You can expect substance without stiffness and sociability without pressure. Whether you arrive knowing others or come on your own, the structure gives everyone the same entry point: the conversation itself. What to Expect The evening begins at 6:00 PM on Thursday, May 1. As an in-person gathering, the experience starts the moment you enter the venue: people arriving, finding seats, greeting one another, and settling into a shared room with a clear focal point. Expect a format that likely opens with welcome remarks or a brief introduction before moving into the moderated discussion. The central session will be the conversation between Mana Khosrowshahi and Mazdak Daneshvar. A moderated format usually creates the right balance between depth and flow: enough structure to keep things moving, enough openness for unexpected insights to emerge. Rather than a one-way presentation, this kind of exchange tends to reveal nuance, personality, and context that are hard to capture in more scripted settings. You should also expect the social dimension to matter. Events like this often work best when the conversation on stage continues off stage in smaller exchanges before or after the formal portion. Even if the agenda is centered on one speaker and one moderator, the value of being there in person includes meeting others who were drawn by the same themes, questions, or cultural interests. A practical way to think about the evening: Arrive on time so you can find the hall easily and settle in before the conversation starts. Expect a moderated discussion rather than a lecture-heavy program. Leave room for conversation with other attendees before or after the main session. Come ready to listen closely, especially if you enjoy reflective, idea-driven events. Why Attend There is a real difference between watching content and sharing a room with a live conversation. In person, you pick up on tone, pacing, pauses, and the chemistry between guest and moderator. That creates a fuller experience and often leads to a stronger personal takeaway, whether that takeaway is intellectual, cultural, or simply relational. This event is also valuable because it gives people a reason to gather around something more meaningful than casual small talk. If you are looking for community, one of the best starting points is a room where attention is already focused and where everyone has chosen to show up for the same conversation. That makes meeting people feel more natural and less transactional. You may attend for different reasons and still find the evening worthwhile: To hear Mana Khosrowshahi in a live moderated setting To engage with a community-oriented cultural event in Den Haag To spend an evening in a setting that supports both listening and connection To break from routine social events and choose something with more depth To be part of a series format, where recurring gatherings can create continuity over time If you appreciate events that are intimate enough to feel personal but structured enough to feel worthwhile, this is a strong fit. The combination of featured conversation and community atmosphere gives the evening shape, purpose, and a clear reason to attend in person. Practical Details The event takes place in person at Fourth Floor, Hall Dok B, Den Haag, Netherlands. The venue directions are straightforward: when you exit the elevator on the fourth floor, turn right; the hall is located behind the elevator. If you have not been to the building before, that detail is worth noting so you can find the room without rushing at the last minute. The start time is Thursday, May 1 at 6:00 PM GMT+2. Since this is a live moderated conversation, arriving a little early is the best way to ease into the evening, locate the hall, and take your place before the session begins. Being punctual also helps preserve the atmosphere once the conversation starts. A few useful reminders before you go: Format: in-person community conversation / meetup-style event Location: Fourth Floor, Hall Dok B, Den Haag Wayfinding: exit the elevator, turn right, hall is behind the elevator Date and time: Thursday, May 1, 6:00 PM GMT+2 Best mindset to bring: curiosity, attention, and openness to meeting others If this sounds like the kind of evening where you would rather be in the room than hear about it later, trust that instinct. Khāndani-hā – 3 is designed for people who want thoughtful conversation, a grounded social atmosphere, and a gathering that feels intentional from start to finish.
