About the Event

For our inaugural Up Late event we’re diving deep into the social purse to ask the question on all our lips – where has all our money gone? – with special guests Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Hernan Diaz; sustainable fashion expert Clare Press; and writer and poet Dan Hogan.

With host Linda Bull, they’ll investigate what it truly means to lead a lucrative life and dissect the culture of capitalism that equates happiness with financial success, setting us all up to fail.

Featuring soapbox monologues, a priceless appearance by award-winning performer Simone Page Jones, and an enlightening audience-led Q+A, don’t miss the chance to stay Up Late with us for Spring Fling and experience an evening that will enrich your mind and expand your horizons.
