Why London’s Executive Community Responds to Our Format
London hosts the European and EMEA headquarters of nearly every major technology company, and its financial services sector is globally significant. Because London executives receive more event invitations than almost any other city, radical selectivity is required to cut through the noise. The Ortus Club focuses on rooms of 8-15 peers at the same seniority level with no vendor pitch, allowing the host brand to earn credibility by making the peer conversation possible.
