Case Studies

Go behind the scenes of real-world strategies and initiatives from leading companies. In these candid, practitioner-led presentations, members share what they tried, how they approached the work, what worked (and what didn’t), and what they learned along the way.

Get an inside look at the decisions, challenges, and results behind their efforts, with practical takeaways you can bring back to your own organization. No polished success stories — just honest, tangible lessons from peers doing the work.

Strategy Exchanges

The best ideas often come from comparing notes with people facing the same challenges. Join fellow practitioners for candid, interactive conversations about the strategies, decisions, and emerging trends shaping your work.

Led by experienced members, these small-group sessions are designed for sharing what’s working (and what isn’t), asking questions, and learning from real-world experiences. No presentations — just practical discussions with peers who understand your challenges.

Expert Panels

Hear diverse perspectives on critical issues, allowing you to understand different approaches and gather comprehensive insights. Panel discussions often invite questions, making it a collaborative and interactive session.

Peer Exchanges

Make meaningful connections with fellow practitioners who share your interests and challenges. In these informal, small-group conversations, choose a table based on your industry, a topic you’d like to explore, or a vendor you’d like to discuss. Compare experiences, trade ideas, and learn from peers facing similar challenges.

With two rounds of discussions, you’ll have the opportunity to explore different topics and meet new people. No presentations, no preparation — just candid conversations and valuable connections.

Networking Meals

Our meals aren’t just breaks, they’re a substantive part of the meeting experience where some of the best conversations happen. Most meetings include breakfast, lunch, and dinner as official parts of the program.
