Starting Over: Stories of Moving Countries, Changing Careers & Taking Risks

An evening bringing together Milan's international and creative community to share personal stories, exchange perspectives and connect. EVEN NUMBERS SALON — EDITION 001THE ART OF REINVENTION On starting over, changing direction and becoming something new. Monday, November 30 | 7:30 PM Basin · Milan A GATHERING FOR CURIOUS MINDS What does it mean to start over? To leave the familiar behind, change direction, move somewhere new or build something from scratch? Inspired by the literary salons of the 18th century, the Even Numbers Salon is a modern gathering for curious minds. A space to exchange ideas, discover new perspectives and connect through meaningful conversation. For our first edition, we're exploring The Art of Reinvention: the experiences, decisions and unexpected turns that shape who we become. We'll bring together three guests from different backgrounds to share their personal stories, how they got to where they are today and what they've learned along the way. From changing careers and moving countries to building businesses, launching products and pursuing entirely new paths, each story offers a different perspective on starting over. But this isn't just about listening. It's about opening up the conversation and learning from one another. WHAT TO EXPECT 01. Three Stories of Reinvention Hear from three guests who have taken different paths, made bold decisions and created something new for themselves. Each will have 10 minutes to share their journey, experiences and lessons. 02. The Conversation After the stories, we'll open the floor for questions, reflections and an exchange of ideas. Bring your curiosity and your own perspective. 03. Meet Your Creative Community Meet people from different backgrounds, industries and walks of life who share an interest in creativity, ideas and meaningful connection. 04. An Evening at Basin Settle in, enjoy a drink or something to eat, and spend an evening in good company. We encourage everyone to support our venue by purchasing a drink and/or food during the gathering. THE EVEN NUMBERS SALON We believe everyone has something to share and everyone has something left to learn. The Salon is an extension of the Even Numbers community: a place where conversations go beyond small talk, knowledge is shared freely and connections happen naturally. Each edition explores a different subject, bringing together interesting people, fresh perspectives and ideas worth discussing. You don't need to be an expert, a business owner or a professional speaker to belong here. Just bring an open mind and a little curiosity. WHY JOIN THE EVEN NUMBERS COMMUNITY?
