Small rooms move deals — especially when several people from one account sit at the same table. Our approach ## What makes our roundtables work What we have learned from hosting senior rooms since 2016, applied to closed-door formats. Worth knowing ### Roundtables inside an ABM programme Buying groups stall when their members disagree. A roundtable puts several people from the same target account in one conversation, which is often the moment an account moves from interested to engaged.

The host speaks for ten minutes at most. 04 ### Formats that fit In-person dinners and breakfast briefings, 60-minute virtual sessions, city series and hybrid formats that pair a roundtable with a research report. 05 ### Content that lasts An anonymised insight report, LinkedIn content and a point-of-view paper, so one evening feeds months of account-based marketing. 06 ### Follow-up within 48 hours Personal summaries, next meetings and promised introductions, tracked through to pipeline. What you get ## Deliverables - Guest strategy and account-based invitation list - Agenda, pre-interviews and moderator - Venue, production and on-the-day management - Briefing notes on every guest for your team - Anonymised insight report and content pack - Follow-up plan and pipeline tracking ### How engagements start Single sessions, or a city series for campaigns that need reach across several regions.

Our team replies within one working day. [Ask a question](https://corptive.com/contact.html?type=business) ### How many guests attend? Usually 12 to 20. Enough for a range of views, few enough for everyone to speak. ### Who do you invite? Decision-makers from your target accounts and peers they want to hear from — including government officials where the topic calls for it. You approve the list. ### Can our team present? Your team hosts and frames the question. We keep presentations to ten minutes at most; the value comes from the discussion. ### Do you run virtual roundtables? Yes. Sixty-minute virtual sessions work well for dispersed audiences and busy officials. ### What happens after the roundtable? Personal follow-ups within 48 hours, an anonymised insight report, and next steps tracked to pipeline. ### Do you still run large conferences? No. We have moved from large conferences to closed-door roundtables and growth programmes, but the network our conferences built is behind every guest list.
