Events

Small rooms, candid conversations.

Society events are built for talking, not being talked at. They're small, members-only and free of sales pitches.

Formats

Three ways to meet.

Dinners and the summit are open to members of every grade. Forums are grouped by grade.

City dinners happen only in select cities with enough members nearby. Forums run in batches of 8 to 12, so a new one starts only when enough members in the same grade sign up.

City dinners

A small table, a loose topic and no agenda beyond that. Hosted by the Society, never by a vendor, with no sponsors pitching.

10 to 15 members · Only in select cities with enough members nearby · Included with base membership

Annual members' summit

A members-only gathering with member-led sessions, the year's benchmarking results, and time with peers you otherwise see only online.

Members only · Once a year · Included with base membership

Forums

A trained facilitator and the same small group of peers in your grade, every month, under strict confidentiality.

8 to 12 per group · Monthly, once a group fills · Forum Program, +$3,000 a year

House rules

What you can count on in the room.

  • What's said stays there

    You can use what you learn, but not attribute it to a person or company, or share it outside the Society, without consent. Code of Conduct.

  • No selling, no recruiting

    Members don't pitch products, recruit each other's staff or raise investment at events.

  • Sponsors are labeled and silent

    If an event ever has a sponsor, it's labeled clearly. Sponsors don't present, don't get attendee lists and have no say in anything the Society decides.

Calendar

Announced to members first.

We're admitting our founding members now. The first dinners and the first summit will be planned with them, in the cities where enough of them are, and announced to members before anywhere else.

For your employer: events are part of base membership, which is $1,600 a year. The employer page has a summary you can send.
