Yale Club of London Speaker Series

The Yale Club of London Speaker Series was founded in 2011, and from its inception has hosted world-class speakers who are leaders in the fields, all of whom have a Yale connection. In the format of a College Tea (but with better wine), the Series generally takes the form of drinks and conversation, followed by a lecture or panel, and Q&A. Slotting nicely into the early evening space between work and dinner, it is a chance to meet fellow Yalies and engage as a layperson with some of the most interesting experts of our time. We warmly invite you to come along.

The following gallery showcases some of our featured speakers.
