Think-Thank Sessions
The hallmark of the Circle, think-tank sessions cover themes of critical importance in today's life of every B2B and B2C marketing decision-maker. Each session is introduced by practical cases presented by 2-3 CMOs who are carefully selected for having implemented an innovative marketing strategy, governance initiative or technology adoption program within their respective organisations. Afterwards, a thoughtful debate and lively dialogue allows for sharing best practices and experiences among participants, whose number is voluntarily limited to 30 to ensure the highest level of interactivity of the talks.
Think-tank sessions are followed by an executive dinner that enables further inter-personal discussions and intimate relationship building with other attendees. Sessions take place in distinguished venues offering executive level infrastructure, easy access and ease of parking.
