Curate: Money & Magic Heads to Nashville

A small room, real conversation, and an experience that holds your attention. That’s what we are cooking up for you on August 5 when Curate moves to Bar Mar by José Andrés in Nashville. With a format built for people who want to work through ideas, not sit through them. We are bringing back, by popular demand, Curate’s Money & Magic workshop.

We are keeping this one intentionally tight. It will be the kind of group where people say what they actually think and stay engaged for the whole session. The setting will certainly help – Bar Mar brings a different energy to the table, literally, with food that keep the conversation moving. 

The day will challenge attendees to rethink how they process information, test assumptions, and approach complex commercial decisions. Attendees left energized, equipped with fresh perspectives and practical ways to elevate their commercial strategy.  

High-performing commercial leaders don’t just move faster, they think differently. They question what feels certain, stay curious, and create space for better insights to emerge. 

Org members, join us for Curate in Nashville on August 5, 10am – 2pm.
