BOOM Christmas Lunch 2026 🎄 | Private Dining at Smith & Wollensky | December 2026
December 10 @ 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm
One table. Great people. A year worth celebrating. And 2027 firmly in sight.
BOOM Christmas Lunch is our final Signature Event of 2026, bringing together founders, business owners, senior leaders and members of the BOOM community for an afternoon of exceptional food, great conversation and relaxed celebration.
This December, we return to Smith & Wollensky, London, for a private Christmas Lunch built around the people, moments and conversations that shaped 2026, and what we take with us into the year ahead.
Because the end of a year isn’t only a chance to look back.
It’s a chance to decide what you take forward.
This isn’t another corporate Christmas party.
It isn’t another networking event with a Christmas hat on.
It’s BOOM at Christmas.
The BOOM Christmas Table
Throughout 2026, people have come together through BOOM Networking, Inner Circle, the BOOM Academy and our Signature Events.
Connections have been made.
Introductions have led somewhere.
New relationships have formed.
Businesses have changed.
And opportunities have appeared that probably weren’t on anyone’s plan at the beginning of the year.
On 10 December, we’re bringing some of those people together around the Christmas table.
There will be plenty of time to eat, drink, laugh and enjoy the afternoon.
But, as you’d expect from BOOM, there will also be a little more to it.
We’ll look back at some of the highlights of 2026, recognise some of the people who have contributed to the BOOM community and leave one important thought on the table:
What are you taking into 2027?
Not another set of resolutions.
Not another business plan.
Perhaps it’s a decision.
A relationship.
An opportunity.
Something you’re going to do differently.
Or something you’re finally going to stop doing.
Because sometimes one conversation, one introduction or one decision can change the direction of an entire year.
Who Will Be In The Room
BOOM Christmas Lunch brings together members from across the BOOM community alongside a limited number of selected guests.
Around the table you’ll find founders, business owners, CEOs, managing directors and senior leaders from a range of sectors.
Some will already know each other.
Some won’t.
That’s part of the point.
No pitching.
No forced networking.
No room full of people trying to sell at each other.
Just a carefully considered group, a brilliant setting and enough time for conversations to go somewhere.
For those experiencing BOOM for the first time, it’s also an opportunity to get much closer to the kind of environment, relationships and conversations that sit at the heart of BOOM Inner Circle.
Hosted by Paul Bulloch & Gary Dawes
The afternoon is curated and hosted by Paul Bulloch and Gary Dawes, co-creators of BOOM.
Their role is to shape the room well, make introductions worth making and ensure the afternoon remains relaxed, valuable and genuinely enjoyable.
Because the quality of an event like this is not just the venue or the food.
It is who sits around the table, what gets discussed and what happens as a result.
