THE DAY IS SET TO INCLUDE:

Roundtables

Our roundtables are all supported and led by an industry leader, facilitating group conversation, designed to help drive forward key market structure and technological initiatives

The framework of our residential agendas is designed around roundtable discussions. All discussions operate under Chatham House Rule, allowing for an open dialogue and free flow of ideas in a trusted setting.

Solution Spotlights

Our spotlights allow partners to showcase their solution in a private room, enabling members to see it in action, evaluate with their peers and provide direct feedback

Based on the most common investment areas within our community, we match our members with recommended third party technology vendors.

Masterclasses

Our educational masterclasses provide a more in-depth, hands-on private workshop led by an industry thought leader in a particular field, promoting an interactive learning experience

Each masterclass is open to 12-15 attendees, grouped based on a common learning. This classroom style format allows the group to deep dive into a particular area, led by an industry expert.

1-2-1 Meetings

We incorporate dedicated 20-minute 1-2-1 meeting slots to connect members with other industry leaders who can help them with their key projects across the year

By understanding members most pressing concerns, we pair meetings with members who are best placed to help each other with their own internal initiatives, technological investment areas and projects.

Unstructured Networking

After Day 1 of a busy programme, wind down with your community – dinner, casino, drinks and the odd surprise…and then it’s onto a very special Day 2

After the first day of a busy programme, wind down with your community at our Gala Dinner. Our Gala Dinners feature award winning menus with a 3-4 course meal, alongside extra special entertainment…

When members and partners awake on Day 2 have a range of activities designed to re-energise from the night before…from sheep herding to golf…unstructured networking at its best!

What you can expect:

    • 1:1 meetings with useful contacts
    • Brilliant relationship building and easy, relaxed networking
    • Roundtables, discussions and masterclasses on themes chosen by our network
    • Partners with best in class solutions, used and recommended by our network
    • A unique opportunity to tap into the strategies others are employing with success
    • Fascinating second day with a debate, live audience survey, special guest speaker and a panel discussion of your peers
