Why attend
Quality of audience over quantity of attendees
For years, success was measured by headcount. The best rooms now move the other way — relevance, access and engagement. This is a room worth the diary slot.
Executive access
20–50 senior leaders per city. Peers, not an audience.
Operator-level content
Real case studies and first-person accounts, not panels of platitudes.
Candour under Chatham House
For executives handling live regulatory matters, candour needs cover.
A tangible output
An unattributed briefing note within a week — the room's thinking, captured.
How the room works
Four design principles
Borrowed from the gatherings that senior people consistently rate and return to — Ditchley, the WSJ CEO Council, and their kind.
Chatham House throughout
Stated loudly, every session. For executives handling live regulatory matters, candour needs cover — and it is the single biggest driver of a real conversation.
Presentations are provocations
Not content. They open arguments; the room does the work. No panels of platitudes, no slideware.
Roundtables and a town hall
Tables of eight to twelve, each with a chair and rapporteur, reconvening in plenary. The Ditchley arc, compressed into an afternoon.
A tangible output
An unattributed briefing note within a week of each event — captured live and distilled by Audiobly. It carries open questions from city to city.
Who should attend
Designed for senior decision-makers
Weighted to the C-suite and those handling regulatory issues across the media ecosystem.
