Overview: Networked Conversations

Wf360's Inner Circle is an exclusive networking program that provides senior-level executives something they rarely have the opportunity to do: engage in high-level, candid conversation with cross-industry peers around the pressing business issues they care about most.

Guests are selected from the world's most influential and powerful business leaders, including directors and officers of publicly listed companies. Inner Circle events are invitation only, and take place in prestigious locations around the world, from the New York Stock Exchange and Forbes Galleries in New York City, to special venues in Boston, London, Paris and Hong Kong approximately 10 times each year. Each event engages an intimate group of 12-15 executives, usually over breakfast, in a dialogue (confidentiality guaranteed) around the topics they have told us they want and need to address.

Member companies' executives value the networking opportunities, engaging formats, and substantive takeaways that Inner Circle events offer. Wf360's expert facilitation and format development, including use of exclusive MainEventT content and proprietary case studies, creates thought-provoking conversation-based programs to build relationships, accomplish strategic objectives and increase revenues. Follow up connections and ongoing idea exchange are encouraged. Participants tell us about programs they've developed, deals they have secured and friends they have made through meetings at Inner Circle events . To foster diversity among senior executive ranks, all Inner Circle events are at least 50% women.

Inner Circle Membership

Inner Circle membership ensures access for one of your senior executives to each Inner Circle event. The series is held around the world so that a different executive may take advantage of the program at each venue. Annual fee for corporate membership: $20,000.

Members also have the opportunity to host their own customized Inner Circle program. Companies typically do so in order to engage the Inner Circle network-and other invited guests-in a best-practice exchange of particular interest to their company, or to discuss a topic that showcases their company and current initiatives before prospective clients without being an obvious pitch. The fee for a customized program, depending on the size and scope of the project, ranges from $20,000 - $250,000.


Inner Circle Sponsorship

Series sponsorship puts your brand and services at the forefront of senior executives' minds throughout the year. Exclusive series sponsorship allows you to influence the topic selection and invitation list for each event; moreover, the limit of one senior executive per event is waived. Inner Circle sponsorship provides unique branding opportunities in top business media such as Forbes and the Financial Times and at leading events, and is $50,000.
