What is the most useful comparison question?
Which qualification method, event format and commercial commitment match your account list? Both providers speak to account-based outcomes, so a generic 'pipeline focused' claim will not help you choose. Request their actual guest qualification workflow, acceptance criteria, reporting and follow-up obligations.
How much do they cost and how long will they take?
Convergex’s Starter Packages slide 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. Its Advance Packages 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. CXO & Co member event pricing starts from £15k or from $20k; membership is additional. Compare total annual costs, including membership, event scope and taxes. Agree lead times and recruitment milestones with both providers; the Convergex deck does not specify a delivery lead time.
