Industry Leadership Forum

An example structure

A programme with a purpose.

The final sessions, timings, speakers and venue are developed around the brief.

  1. Welcome and context

    Set the question, introduce the participants and establish the purpose of the conversation.

  2. Expert perspectives

    Hear a small number of focused viewpoints that frame the question from different angles.

  3. Moderated discussion

    Explore practical experiences, points of disagreement and opportunities for progress.

  4. Takeaways and connections

    Capture useful conclusions and give participants time to continue the discussion.

Event partnerships

A relevant role for your brand.

Partnership opportunities are developed around the audience, event format and available rights.

  • Shelves of empty glass jars, one filled with red

    Before the event

    Agree the partner story, available promotion and the assets needed to introduce the collaboration.

  • Rows of white bentwood chairs in a stone hall, one red chair

    In the room

    Define the branding, experience or participation included in the package.

  • A cinema camera on a tripod in a dark studio, its red recording light on

    After the event

    Agree permitted use of photography, content and a summary of delivered activity.
