The Nelson is a discussion salon in NYC where a vibrant community of people convene for engaging discussions about important, and sometimes provocative, topics. It fills a void in a social scene with few events focused on facilitating meaningful dialogue. At the Nelson, we believe that conversation can spark new friendships, community engagement, expanded networks, and increased success for communities of color. Inspired by Nelson Mandela and the 18th century salon, The Nelson is a modern-day twist on an old concept.
Request membership and attend our next event. We look forward to welcoming you to The Nelson.
