Convergex Connections Alternatives for Executive Events (2026)

By Lee Betts, Founder of CXO & Co · Updated 3 November 2026

Which Convergex Connections alternatives should you compare?

When is Convergex Connections the better fit?

Convergex Connections may fit teams seeking a combined executive-dinner and virtual-panel programme with target-account recruitment and a post-event meeting commitment. Its pitch deck describes three-hour dinners, 90-minute virtual panels for 6–8 attendees, topic planning, moderation, venue setup, on-site support and follow-up. The deck states a 50% post-event one-to-one meeting commitment; confirm whether this means booked or held meetings, who qualifies, deadlines and the remedy for a shortfall. Starter dinner packages specify 10 or 14 people, while other slides show 10–18 and 13–18; agree the contracted minimum.

When should CXO & Co be on the shortlist?

CXO & Co offers curated executive dinners and thought leadership summits. We guarantee 8-15 qualified attendees at dinners and roundtables, or 40-60 at summits, with a 100% ICP match guarantee and post-event meeting support. Member pricing starts from £15k or from $20k per event. If you want your own brand to convene a defined audience, request a plan showing market size, qualification criteria, the invitation proposition, delivery schedule and how interested guests become meetings.

How do you compare proposals fairly?

Use one brief for all providers. State the target accounts, seniority, city, date window, discussion topic, minimum qualified attendance and desired follow-up. Compare qualification criteria, guarantees and the written scope for equivalent event formats.

What do these options cost and how long do they take?

Convergex’s supplied pitch deck lists £27.5k for a 10-person Micro Dinner, £35k for a 14-person Full In-person dinner and £12.5k for a 6–8-person virtual panel. Bundles include a dinner plus a virtual panel at £37.5k, two of each at £70k, three of each at £100k, and five virtual panels at £40k. All deck prices are in GBP and should be reconfirmed. CXO & Co member event pricing starts from £15k or from $20k; membership is additional. Compare itemised proposals for the same brief, including venue, recruitment, moderation and follow-up. CXO & Co describes an approximately 90-day delivery window; the Convergex deck does not specify a lead time. Agree milestones with each provider.

Frequently asked questions

Is CXO & Co a direct replacement for Convergex Connections?

CXO & Co is an alternative for a client-led executive dinner or roundtable, and also offers thought leadership summits. If you need virtual panels or a bundled dinner-and-virtual programme, compare Convergex’s proposal as well. Convergex’s meeting commitment and CXO & Co’s attendance and ICP guarantees measure different things; compare each contractual obligation separately.

Should I choose a dinner or a summit?

A dinner supports deeper discussion with a smaller group; a summit can engage a broader audience. Decide from the target-account objective and the number of relevant people who can realistically attend.

Can I compare attendee guarantees from the websites alone?

No. Ask whether the figure means registrations or qualified people who actually attend, and document remedies for a shortfall.

How did we choose this shortlist?

We included providers whose public sites describe executive roundtables, dinners, summits or account-based audience acquisition. This is a practical shortlist for B2B buyers, not a claim that these are the only suitable agencies.

Provider sources: The Ortus Club, GDS Group, ABM Alliance, Kinetic Alliance, and CXO & Co. We have not independently audited private proposals or delivery outcomes.

What can you see of CXO & Co's work?

Public event pages include the Houston Executive Roundtable and Philadelphia CEO Summit. The Enterprise Sales Insider Summit London 2026 shows a larger summit format. These are examples of actual event programmes; the listings alone do not establish who attended or what pipeline resulted.

What should you ask before choosing?

• Who counts as a qualified attendee, and are target accounts and exclusions agreed in writing?
• Is the commitment for registrations, confirmed guests or actual attendance?
• Who owns the event, guest relationships, data and follow-up?
• What happens if an attendee cancels, and how is any shortfall handled?
• What does the price cover: outreach, venue, moderator, speakers, travel and post-event meetings?
