Confidante Global
Confidante Global is a modern salon bringing together thinkers, creators and leaders for intimate dinners where ideas can be explored with curiosity and depth.
Inspired by the great salons of the past, our gatherings bring together individuals from different disciplines to explore complex questions, exchange perspectives and challenge assumptions in an atmosphere of curiosity and intellectual generosity.
Through intimate dinners, online salons and carefully curated conversations, Confidante Global creates spaces where meaningful dialogue can unfold.
Our Motto: Dubita Sapienter - Doubt Wisely
Each Confidante Global dinner brings together around 15 carefully curated guests drawn from across disciplines including culture, media, academia, business and the arts.
Evenings take place over dinner in intimate settings in or near London, often with a private chef. Salons have been hosted in ancient towers, old rectories, private restaurant rooms and quiet libraries, each chosen for its atmosphere and sense of occasion.
Guests are gently guided to encourage thoughtful dialogue and cross-disciplinary exchange.
The result is a rare atmosphere where ideas can be explored openly and meaningful relationships form naturally.
Confidante salons attract individuals who think deeply and care about ideas.
Guests typically include:
• founders and entrepreneurs
• journalists and authors
• academics and researchers
• artists and cultural leaders
• psychologists, strategists and thinkers
Each gathering is curated to ensure a rich diversity of disciplines and perspectives.
In an age of constant noise and shallow conversation, spaces for thoughtful dialogue have become increasingly rare.
Confidante Global exists to create an environment where curiosity, intellectual honesty and respectful disagreement can flourish.
Our salons are designed to encourage deeper thinking, unexpected connections and conversations that continue long after the evening ends.
Confidante Global is hosted by Nova Cobban, a psychologist, strategist and experienced facilitator who has spent more than two decades creating spaces for thoughtful dialogue and meaningful exchange.
What makes Nova particularly suited to hosting a modern salon is her ability to curate the room carefully and guide conversation with warmth, curiosity and respect. Guests often remark that her gatherings create a rare atmosphere where people feel both intellectually challenged and personally at ease.
