The Ideas Open Mic: 2026 in Review

Join us at The London Art Bar on

Saturday 12 December to wave

goodbye to 2026, one slide at a time.

Whether it’s your year in review or a

topic you could talk about for hours, this is your five minutes.

Make a short slide deck (Google Slides, Canva or PowerPoint), take

the mic, and tell us about it.

It’s The Ideas Open Mic meets Pitch

Your Friend.

Why we’re doing

this

Every year I do a PowerPoint night with my school friends about our

year. It’s one of my favourite evenings, and I thought it would be

even better with more people in the room, and a chance to see

strangers cheer each other on.

Want to

present?

Tell us what you got up to in 2026. Or tell us what you’re obsessed

with right now, whether that’s a show, a hobby, a theory, or

anything else. Five minutes, around 10 slides, and no expertise

needed.

A presenter ticket includes your slot

plus up to two guests, so you’ll have friends in the room cheering

you on. Anything goes, as long as it’s kind.

Just want to

watch?

Sit back, enjoy the prosecco, and see what everyone’s been up

to.

Every ticket includes a glass of

prosecco.

Doors open at 7PM, slides from

7:30PM.

Send your slides to

[email protected] by 10PM the day before. Arrive close to 7PM if

you can, so we can check the tech.

So, what was your 2026?
