"CEO Forum" is a quarterly discussion meeting over dinner for CEOs, business owners and other selected senior executives representing companies with annual revenues generally between $25 million and $1 billion+. Over 250 CEOs have attended since our first meeting in 2004, with many current "regulars." A typical dinner discussion group has a CEO leading the discussion on an important topic of interest, with 25 to 30 CEOs attending.
Value proposition: This exclusive, strictly peer-to-peer, meeting is an excellent forum for business leaders to share experiences and best practices while developing relationships in a convenient, enjoyable and relaxing setting.
