The City CXO
In a world of complexity that can feel more like the machines are taking over every day, remember this;
Machines may out think us but they cannot simply be with us.
Genuine presence with others is a gift. Trusted human connection will never be replaced.
Our Vision
A modern Agora for the people running technology in the City. The Club is an invitation-only group for emerging leaders and established CXOs of major organisations in and around the City of London. Members collectively oversee some of the largest technology budgets in Europe, running critical infrastructure across banking, insurance, asset management, legal and professional services.
There are no vendor presentations. No sponsored content. No sales pitches. Just practitioners talking honestly about what they are doing, under Chatham House rules. Membership is capped at 100 and is by application and invitation only. Research and briefing materials for each event are provided by The Executive Summary, the Club's research partner.
Our Programme
Debate Dinners 6 per year Small, focused, off the record. The signature format.
Expert Dinners 2 per year Larger room. An invited expert opens, the table discusses.
Webinars 4 per year Practitioner-led, open to all members and selected guests.
Summer Reception 1 per year Informal evening for members and their guests.
Annual Dinner 1 per year Black tie. The flagship gathering of the year.
Our Deliverables
Insight
Aggregated, anonymised briefings from each Debate Dinner and Webinar; what the room cared about, where the room disagreed, which questions need further work. Never attributed, never tied to a single member. Distributed as private partner-only research briefs.
Platform
Co-developed research, content, and event topics with the Club. Where a partner has genuine practitioner insight to share, that work can appear in members' research feeds. The intent is original thinking, not marketing.
