What the evening is

Not a gala, and not a conference. A room of people who mostly know why they are there.

If you are early in this

There is no alcohol at this event. None is served, and The Maze does not serve it on any night — it is the reason the room exists.

Someone who knows recovery is at the support table all evening, every hour of it, for anyone who wants to step away or talk to a person. You do not have to explain yourself to sit down there.

You do not need to be in recovery to come, and you can bring someone who is still struggling.

Who this is for

Two organisations, one evening, and a division of labour that is the whole point.

Crosstalk Official Foundation

Four years of long-form conversations with people who have come through addiction. More than two hundred of them, recorded in New York, Los Angeles and South Florida, watched in over fifty countries. A 501(c)(3), funded by donations.

Crosstalk tells the stories.

No Matter What Foundation

Removes the financial obstacle between wanting help and affording it — funding treatment and sober living for people who cannot pay for it themselves. No red tape and no long wait.

No Matter What makes sure there are more stories to tell.
