Auckland: Meridian Table – Conversations Across Cultures and Continents
Meridian Table
Some conversations shift the temperature of a room.
Meridian Table is a recurring gathering curated by global arts and culture strategist Yijin Liu — a table where ideas move across disciplines, cultures, and life stages, and where conversation itself becomes the reason to gather.
For this edition, Meridian Table takes place in a private space overlooking the Waitematā Harbour. Over a shared afternoon tea experience, a small group sits down together — not to network, not to perform, but simply to talk.
This gathering welcomes Nick Falzon, Columbia University faculty member and former Disney executive, joining the table during his brief visit to Auckland. Together, participants explore creativity, education, and navigating global pathways in an increasingly interconnected world.
Each seat is intentional.
Each conversation unfolds differently.
What to Expect
Expect an intimate afternoon shaped by open conversation. Ideas move fluidly across arts, education, and global pathways, guided by curiosity and shared experience. The atmosphere is relaxed yet attentive, allowing dialogue to unfold organically around the table.
Each seat includes The Shared Table afternoon tea, where savoury and sweet creations inspired by Sri Lanka, India, Hong Kong, and New Zealand accompany the conversation.
Who This Table Is For
If you are building a life across cultures, disciplines, or sectors — or imagining what that might look like — this table may resonate with you.
You might be a student, a creative, a policymaker, a founder, or somewhere in between. Titles differ, but we are united by a sensitivity to culture, a global outlook, and a desire for dialogue that feels meaningful rather than strategic.
If you are drawn to thoughtful conversation, to perspectives beyond your own field or city, and to connections that unfold naturally over time, you are warmly welcome at the table.
