Why a playground

Everyone leaves having done something.

A playground is where you try things before you commit, learn by doing, and find the other people doing it too. That is a portfolio career. It is also what MyPholyo is for.

So the day is built around doing. You map your Pholyo, benchmark your rate, film your story and meet Moxie. The talks sit between the play blocks and earn their place there.

It is also the day MyPholyo goes fully live. On stage, in the room, in your hands.

On stage

Who you will hear from.

June Angelides MBE, founder of MyPholyo

June Angelides MBE

Founder, MyPholyo · Venture Partner, Samos Investments · Board Director

June was living a portfolio career long before it had a name. Venture partner, board director, founder and mother of three, she was not ahead of her time so much as paying attention. What she did was name the way she was already working, give it a language, and build the infrastructure it never had.

She opens the Playground with the launch keynote, and closes it from the same stage. Everything in between belongs to the room.

More to come

Our Founding Ambassadors take the stage for the money stories panel, and further speakers are announced between now and the day. Book a ticket and you will hear each one first.

The day

Thursday 5 November, nine to late.

Morning · Arrive and map

08:15

Coaches from King's Cross

Coffee, pastries, and the MyPholyo Mapper on your phone before you arrive. If you would rather travel yourself, Hatfield station is 25 minutes direct and sits opposite the park gates.

09:00

Doors · Map your Pholyo

Check in by mapping your Pholyo. Everyone collects an archetype badge: Architect, Catalyst, Pioneer or Curator. Your badge sets your roundtable later, and makes the first conversation easy.

09:45

June Angelides MBE · the launch keynote

Non-linear is the new normal. The story, the category, and MyPholyo going fully live on stage: real product, real Moxie, real member data.

10:30

Know your number

Rate intelligence and the Money Gap, shown live on real member data. 65% of portfolio professionals do not know their effective hourly rate. 85% of MyPholyo Mapper completers are underpricing.

11:00

Playground block one · all zones open

Ninety minutes, six zones, and no schedule to keep. Coffee comes to you.

Midday · Eat with your people

12:30

The long lunch

One long table, seated, mixed by archetype so nobody eats with the person they arrived with. This is where "turns out, I am not the only one" tends to happen.

13:45

Ambassador stories

Our Founding Ambassadors on what changed when they finally had the data, in their own words, hosted by June.

Afternoon · Go deeper

14:30

Archetype roundtables

Small facilitated tables by badge, with one question each: what would make your career compound faster.

15:15

Playground block two

Zones reopen and the Story Studio takes its final bookings. Dusk falls mid-block and the estate relights. These grounds look better at half four than they do at noon.

16:30

Closing · careers that compound

June closes the loop on what the room built today, and what MyPholyo does with it tomorrow.

Night · Bonfire Night

17:00

Afterparty · fire pits and a DJ

The day ends and the night starts in the same breath. Mulled everything, fire pits on the terrace, and music inside.

18:30

Fireworks over Hatfield House

A private display on Bonfire Night itself. Twelve minutes, soundtracked, and worth staying for.

20:00

Carriages

Coaches back to King's Cross for anyone who wants them.

The playground

Six zones, one estate.

Each zone is one thing MyPholyo does, built as something you can pick up and use. Ambassadors host, the team floats, and you leave every zone with something you did not arrive with.

Entry ritual

The MyPholyo Mapper Hall

Map your Pholyo, then take your score and your archetype badge. A wall of the day's anonymised results builds as the room fills.

Money

The Money Room

Effective hourly rate calculators, a rate benchmarking wall, and 15 minute pricing clinics with people who price work for a living.

Energy

The Energy Studio

Energy is an asset class. Build your Containers, place your Anchor, and design a week that compounds. The quietest room in the house, deliberately.

Visibility

The Visibility Studio

Professional headshots, LinkedIn profile teardowns, and the Story Studio: your story, filmed properly. The files are yours.

Product

The Moxie Lab

Meet Moxie, your AI chief of staff. Bring a real career question and watch her work it live, on the launch-day features before anyone else sees them.

The people layer

Office Hours

Investors, accountants, lawyers and agents who understand multiple income streams. 15 minutes each, booked on the day.

The play blocks

Built for grown ups, and meant properly.

Illuminated swings on a lawn at dusk, with people sitting in them

The Swing Line goes up on the lawn facing the house, lit as the light goes. It is the invitation image, and the one everybody photographs.

The rest of the play is scattered across the grounds and the state rooms, and all of it counts toward your Passport.

The Swing Line

Swings on the lawn

A row of branded swings on the lawn, facing the house. This is the photograph everyone takes, and it is usually of somebody else.

Giant Containers

Build your week, big

Oversized blocks on the grass. Stack your Containers, place your Anchor, photograph the week you want, and take the template home in the app.

The Chalk Wall

Ask the room anything

Scan the code and post a question, or something you have just learned. June answers the best of it from the closing stage.

Collect a stamp in every zone and your Pholyo Passport goes into the draw at the fireworks. The prize is a year of MyPholyo and a seat at Playground 2027.

Before you ask

The practical answers.

How do I get there?
Branded coaches leave King's Cross at 08:15 and bring you back at 20:00, included in your ticket. If you would rather travel independently, Hatfield station is 25 minutes direct from King's Cross and sits opposite the park gates. There is parking on the estate.
Who else will be there?
100 Portfolio Careerists, deliberately mixed: fractional executives, consultants, founders, advisors and creators, alongside the investors, accountants, lawyers and agents who help portfolio careers work. Small enough that June meets everyone.
What do I actually leave with?
Your mapped Pholyo and archetype, your effective hourly rate benchmarked against people doing similar work, professional headshots, your story filmed properly, a week designed in Containers, and the swag bag. Plus a hundred people who understand what you do.
What should I wear?
Whatever you would wear to meet a client you like. It is November in Hertfordshire and part of the day is outside, so bring a coat you do not mind being photographed in. There are blankets at the fire pits.
Is there a member rate?
The early bird release is open to everyone while it lasts, and waitlist members were told first. Once it sells out, the standard ticket opens.
Can I bring someone?
The room is capped at 100 and every seat is allocated, so each ticket admits one person. If you would like to bring a colleague, buy them a ticket while the allocation lasts.
What if I can no longer come?
Tickets transfer to another person up to seven days before the event. Tell us the name and we will move it. Refund terms are set out at checkout when tickets open.
