250th Tuesday 11AM Briefing Jan. 21, 2025 (Zoom & Many Cities)

Dear 361 Community, Since 2019, Stephen R. Burke of ARS has given opening briefings around the world, and via Zoom on Tuesdays at 11AM since April 2020. See Briefing Playlist on our 361 Channel. On Jan. 21, 2025, 361Firm will host our 250th Tuesday Briefing in a row. At the 200th mark, we hosted "watch party" gatherings in over 30 cities. This time we aim for 100+ cities/locations and 500 participants. We seek your help in 3 steps to co-organize (or participate in) a simple informal "watch party" gathering per below. 

Jan. 21 Agenda (all times ET):
10:30:  Participant 5-second 4-point Intros (1) name, (2) firm, and (3) city of birth and current residence
11:00:  361Firm shares the 250th "Tribute Collage" Videos*
11:15:  Briefing 250 with Q&A
12:00:  Receptions in some locations (e.g. lunch in NYC at ARS, 529 5th Avenue) 

Watch Parties will be soon listed, and include already Houston, NY, SF, LA, Naples, Cincinnati, and Boston - more to come with your help.Please let us know via the form below about your interest to host so we can add to our venue list, and invite others nearby.  

*As before we asked the 361 community to submit brief videos reflecting on the Briefings which we combined into "Tribute Collages" at the 200th and 150th milestones. Again, for the 200th, please share a very short video (under 30 seconds) via www.361firm.com/250. 

If interested to host or co-host in your city/town, it’s easy and informal - see details below.

YOUR VENUE. Indicate your city and suggested venue in the form below. Please give specific instructions so people can find you easily and how many people can be accommodated.

INVITING PEOPLE. We will then send invitations to our 361 community members near you (and let you know RSVPs)  You can invite people too.

PREP. Just be ready to take in guests around 10:15am ET. Position have your device situated so that we can see everyone. You may want to use two devices - one for camera angle and the other for audio. Make sure everyone is ready to introduce. Remind everyone to be ready to introduce themselves with the  5-second, 3-point Intros (1) name, (2) firm, and (3) city of birth.   

GOALS. We do these parallel events to bring our global community together but also like to catalyze relationships locally and “in person” is more powerful and we will soon be in your area with an event. Still, via Zoom, we will make use of this larger gathering by having Zoom Breakout Rooms by industries and asset classes which you all can join freely by moving around the rooms.
