This Thursday & Friday in Saigon — the table is set
This Thursday & Friday in Saigon: two gatherings, one shared circle — and three stories from our community. Welcome Home to 10 Nexus.
This Thursday and Friday, we gather again in Saigon — and we'd like to invite you back into our circle.
A quick word on where we are. For years, 10 Nexus has been an idea taking shape across dinners and salons: a lifelong global village hall for leaders, builders, and creators who live between worlds — a home with rooms for reflection, learning, connection, and storytelling.
This week, two of those rooms open their doors.
Thursday, June 18 — From Story to Voice (opening night)
A Jeffersonian dinner with Ambassador Ted Osius: one long table, sixteen-eighteen seats, one shared conversation. He opens with a story; then each of us answers a single question:
What's a moment that crossed a border in you — between cultures, or between who you were and who you became?
A few seats left.

Friday, June 19 — Ghế Đỏ / The Red Chair at Wiking Salon
Step inside Hoàng Anh's exhibition on the humble red plastic chair — where Vietnam gathers, argues, and dreams the country forward — and a conversation about rising together.
Art meditation developed in conjunction with one of our Paris-based founding arts facilitators at 10 Nexus, Charlene Delaville.
Grazing Dinner and Storytelling Circles surrounded by immersive art.
- If you could paint your own red chair into the story of Vietnam, where would you place it?
- Whose shoulders are you standing on — and whose journey are you holding up?

Both evenings open the door to Nexus Voices, our cross-cultural storytelling cohort and programs across Saigon and Europe.
Three community member stories we recently recorded
Read / watch three stories we recently recorded with members of our community — so you can feel who gathers around this table:
Thirty years of diplomacy, much of it earned on a bicycle — TED OSIUS on listening over defending, reconciliation built one small act at a time, and why only two things finally make a life: love and purpose.
10 Nexus Global
From Saigon to LA to Sciences Po and home again — AN VO on staying centered while the world rearranges you, and returning in order to build Vietnam's next chapter.
10 Nexus Global
MARTIN ZHANG — badminton athlete turned professional model turned cultural strategist, born in Hamburg, local in Shanghai — on being at home in the space most people are taught to apologize for, and why the in-between is the advantage, not the compromise.
10 Nexus Global
Can't wait to learn, connect, and celebrate as one community — richer for every world we each carry to the table.
Welcome Home.
Ex pluribus, una vox — from many, one voice.
