Good product idea. The dinner aspect certainly is vital because it's much easier to connect with people over a good meal than in most other situations. However, I was thinking that connecting with people from different backgrounds and cultural contexts IMO is most rewarding in terms of experience and personal development. Apart from the large cultural hubs such as London, New York or (to some extent) Silicon Valley meeting a large number of diverse yet like-minded people might indeed prove a bit difficult.

One thing that came to mind for me in particular is that meeting interesting new people who share a general kind of mindset is one of the aspects that are great about Freemasonry: You get to meet people from almost every walk of life, background (cultural and otherwise) and age bracket.
