Peer-to-Peer Discussion Groups

Engage in real conversations, not lectures.

These small, moderated groups bring together professionals facing shared challenges—from digital transformation to operational efficiency, member engagement, AI adoption, and risk management.

Every session is carefully curated by topic and attendee role, ensuring that you’re seated with peers who speak your language. Walk away with practical ideas, real-world solutions, and new contacts to call after the summit.

This is where some of the most meaningful, problem-solving conversations take place—executive to executive.
