About
The Causerie Project brings people together to share stories, ideas, and laughter in intimate, unexpected spaces.
The Inspiration
Salon events mixed conversation, debate, and performance in an intimate setting. More than just social occasions, salons became cultural engines that shaped thought, inspired creativity, and built community through dialogue.

About
The Causerie Project is our take on a modern salon: a pop-up series of intimate, interactive evenings built around curiosity and connection. Each event brings together short, story-driven talks and live presentations designed to spark conversation, laughter, and discovery.How it works: Guests sign up without knowing the exact location. The venue is revealed just one day before, chosen for its intimacy rather than formality and transformed into a warm, welcoming “third place.” Presenters share topics of their choice, sometimes humorous, sometimes thought-provoking, and sometimes moving, but always engaging.What to expect: An evening that feels alive with conversation. Presenters spark the room with short talks and stories, but the magic happens in the exchange. Questions are encouraged, ideas flow, and voices from the audience matter just as much as those on the stage. It’s informal, social, and interactive, like an evening among friends where curiosity sets the tone and the unexpected is part of the fun.
Inspiration Behind The Causerie Project
Cau·se·rie
/ˌkōzəˈrē/ noun - an informal talk or conversation.The idea for The Causerie Project emerged from a desire for spaces that feel both social and meaningful, places where curiosity, creativity, and conversation intersect. Its name nods to the French word “causerie,” meaning “informal talk,” and to the 18th- and 19th-century salons that inspired it: intimate gatherings where people exchanged ideas, shared discoveries, and sparked cultural movements.Causerie reimagines that tradition for a modern audience. Each event is intentionally designed to be interactive, accessible, and fun. A more lively exchange than a formal lecture. We draw from live storytelling and informal presentation-style formats, while leaving plenty of space for conversation and surprise. To heighten the sense of anticipation, the venue itself is revealed just one day before, always an unexpected spot that transforms into a temporary “third space.”Like the salons of the past, Causerie is about more than content; it’s about connection. An evening where conversation takes center stage, and the unexpected is part of the design.
