FOUNDING CIRCLE / 001
Why it exists
Most communities appear naturally. Ours won't.
The culture, the crowd and the identity of ECOA will be shaped by people. Before the first session, we are choosing twenty individuals who genuinely represent what ECOA should become.
Not because of their followers. Because of their influence.Not because they sell tickets. Because they create communities.
PROGRAMME / GENERATION
One programme. One first generation.
Founding Circle is the programme. The First 20 is its first and only founding generation.

What we look for
People who naturally bring others together.
People with good taste.
People who value community.
People who love music.
People with initiative.
