The Ortus Club Celebrates Nearly a Decade of Sparking Connections

Founded by Samuel Adcock and Jess Circi, The Ortus Club has grown to partner with global companies to host about 60 events monthly that span various industries and languages. Our mission: curating impactful executive dialogues in a neutral, pitch-free environment.

As The Ortus Club celebrates another year filled with successfully curated and executed events, we reflect on our journey from a single roundtable in Sydney to a global phenomenon. Join us as we celebrate fostering connections, partnerships, and knowledge exchange among prominent business leaders.

From Sydney’s Park Hyatt to The World

It’s been almost a decade since The Ortus Club embarked on its mission to curate impactful executive dialogues. Our story began with a single roundtable discussion at the Park Hyatt in Sydney, Australia. Fast forward to today, and we’re thrilled to celebrate the incredible journey we’ve shared with our global community.

Samuel Adcock and Jess Circi came from very different industries: Sam is an engineer at heart, obsessed with email deliverability, outreach methods, and data analytics. Jess is a marketeer from the publishing sector with a passion for dialogue curation, event experiences, and B2B sales.

Since the first roundtable hosted in Sydney, Australia, the demand was clear. Small-scale events were worth exploring. Almost a decade later, The Ortus Club runs approximately 60 global events per month in most business hubs around the world and in a variety of languages. Roundtable discussions (as well as their virtual counterparts) have been hosted in Japanese, German, French, Italian, Korean, Dutch, and Spanish, to name a few.

The Ortus Mission of Initiating Strategic Dialogues and Lasting Impact

From the very first gathering, the vision was to become the most strategic executive dialogue curator in the world with impactful and strategic conversations that engage everyone. The Ortus Club aims to foster a space where leaders can engage, connect, and spark thought-provoking discussions to drive progress in their organisations.

Throughout the years, The Ortus Club has established itself as a trusted partner for leading SaaS giants. From enterprise resource planning with SAP to CRM solutions like Salesforce and Zendesk, The Ortus Club has helped companies optimise their operations. We have also worked with cloud infrastructure leaders like Amazon Web Services and Google to nurture communication spaces and facilitate knowledge exchange.

Looking beyond traditional giants, The Ortus Club has also fostered partnerships with innovative fintech players like Stripe and Paypal, as well as secure payment solutions providers like Visa. This forward-thinking approach extends into collaboration tools like Zoom, Asana, and Monday.com to ensure seamless communication and project management for businesses around the globe. The Ortus Club understands that success in today’s business landscape requires a holistic approach, and our diverse partnerships across industries like software, communications, and cybersecurity with companies like Webex by Cisco, Vonage, and Protegrity reflect that commitment.

Stellar Reviews that Guide Our Path to Success

The most gratifying aspect of this journey has, without a doubt, been the consistent praise from all the participants worldwide. The outpouring of five-star reviews from guests has affirmed the value The Ortus Club provides in the B2B event marketing space, and client feedback echoed these sentiments.

The success of a corporate event can be measured in many ways, with field marketing continuously striving to collaborate with sales departments to generate ROI in closed deals or opportunities created in the form of leads. But what truly keeps the Ortus team going are the positive reviews shared by all event participants that mention the positive relationships they were able to build and the learnings they were able to gather thanks to the discussion and the networking opportunities we’ve tailored especially for them.

From our valued clients, guests, event moderators, speakers, panellists, venue partners, and photographers, too, we are incredibly grateful to be a part of your journey towards meaningful relationships and fruitful knowledge-sharing.

One review, in particular, captured the essence of what the company strives for:

This sentiment resonates deeply with each team member of the Ortus team who believes that knowledge shouldn’t be siloed—but shared as a force that empowers everyone.

Here are only some of the hundreds of reviews from our event participants that we treasure deeply:
