​The 999 Networking Session

​This August, in place of our usual roundtable with a speaker, we're setting the hour aside for something different: a dedicated networking session with your peers. It's a rare chance to connect with strategists from very different industries — all inside a single 60-minute window.

​How it works
We'll run three rounds of nine-minute conversations in small breakout groups of two to three. Each round balances free conversation with a suggested theme, so the discussion stays easy but purposeful.

​What you'll take away
A networking hour is short, but the value tends to compound. You'll leave with several new peer relationships across industries, a sharper sense of how strategists elsewhere are approaching the problems currently on your own desk, and — as often happens here — the reassurance that a challenge you assumed was yours alone is widely shared. Come with something you're working through; the aim is that you walk away with two or three people worth staying in touch with well beyond the hour.
