Common questions
What is the difference between a workshop and a boardroom roundtable?
Workshops are 45-minute practical or hands-on sessions open to any delegate, with no booking. Boardroom roundtables are hour-long, closed-door discussions under Chatham House rule for around 12 to 16 senior leaders, by invitation.
Do I need to book a workshop?
No. Workshops are open to any delegate on the day. Several are hands-on build-alongs, so bring a laptop where the session says so.
How do I get a seat at a boardroom roundtable?
Boardrooms are by invitation. Request a seat and, if it is a fit, a place comes with a full pass to the whole day.
Are the boardrooms a sales pitch?
No. They run under Chatham House rule with no slides and no selling. The host steers the discussion while delegates compare notes on what has worked and what has not.
