Sam Adcock is the co-founder of The Ortus Club, the global platform for senior executive knowledge-sharing events. Since co-founding the company in Sydney in 2015, Sam has helped build Ortus into a team operating across 40+ countries, partnering with brands including Google, AWS, Adobe, Salesforce, and Visa on over 2,500 executive events globally.

A Master of Engineering from the University of Oxford, Sam brings a rare mix of analytical precision and creative curiosity to event strategy. His early career took him from Subsea Engineering at BP to the conference industry and corporate documentary filmmaking, where he spent years interviewing C-level executives across the globe. Along the way, the Oxford Union’s model of curated, invitation-only dialogue shaped his conviction that the format of a conversation matters as much as who is in it.

Sam works with marketing and technology teams to build executive event programmes that generate real senior engagement and lasting commercial relationships.
