Membership

A standing invitation to the room where European AI is decided.

One membership. Three pillars — the reporting, the gatherings and the community. Built for the executives, founders, investors and policymakers who can't afford to be a step behind.

01

Content

Three deeply reported dispatches a week — investigative, on-the-ground journalism on the policy, capital and technology shaping European AI.

02

Events

Small-format, C-level gatherings across Europe, off the record — bringing those who build the technology together with those who operationalise it.

03

Community

A multi-directional resource. Comment alongside our journalists, suggest stories, and publish op-eds to an audience that matters.

Questions

Who is Second Chapter for?

Business executives, start-up founders, investors and policymakers who need to understand European AI deeply — not just follow the headlines. If decisions you make depend on where this technology is going, you're who we built this for.

What makes the journalism different?

Every dispatch is deeply researched, investigative and reported on the ground. Our themes are set by an Advisory Group of policymakers, executives, founders and investors — so we cover what actually matters to the people living these questions.

How do the events work?

Small-format, C-level gatherings in major European cities, held off the record and hosted in partnership with leading consultancies. Members receive invitations; seats are limited to keep every table intimate.

Can I expense a membership?

Yes — most of our members do. We provide receipts and VAT invoices, and offer team memberships for firms that want several seats. Talk to our partnerships team for a tailored arrangement.

Can I cancel anytime?

Always. Memberships are billed annually and renew only with your consent — you can cancel anytime before your renewal date.
