Smaller rooms.
Stronger relationships.
Better conversations.
Leadership Table is Politicking’s signature dinner series, bringing together 10 to 15 people from across New York’s political and civic ecosystem for candid, off the record conversation.
There are no podiums and no traditional panels. The table is the program.
Guests exchange perspectives, learn about work beyond their own sectors, and build relationships that continue after dinner.
Know one another before you need one another.

the founding table.
Every great community begins with people who believe in its potential. The Politicking Founding Table brings together the early supporters, partners, and friends whose belief in our mission helped turn an idea into a growing community.
It's an opportunity to celebrate the relationships that brought us here, recognize those who helped make it possible, and look ahead to what's next.
Our January 17th, 2026 Founding Table was hosted by Bomba, a Caribbean-Italian supper club, at Sweet Sunday's Café.
