About The Wide Dinner

An intimate evening reserved for 15 exceptional minds.

When you get your ticket, you'll have the option to add The Wide Dinner — an exclusive experience the night after The Wide Event.

This is not just a dinner. It's a private mastermind — a carefully curated table of 15 founders, operators and builders sharing real, unfiltered conversations about what it actually takes to build and scale a business.

The evening takes place in a privatized space at the same venue, with a stunning 360° panoramic view of Paris — the Eiffel Tower, the skyline, the city at night. Apéro and a full dinner are included.

No slides, no pitches. Just meaningful conversations with people who are actually building something. The kind of evening where a single connection can change the trajectory of your business.

Because we want to keep this experience truly exceptional, purchasing a ticket does not guarantee your seat. Once you apply, you'll be placed on a curated waitlist. If your application is accepted, you'll receive an email confirming your spot at The Wide Dinner. If not, you'll be fully refunded for the dinner portion and will still have your ticket to The Wide Event.
