The Alliance Roundtable is a network of executives who deal with alliances and come together 4 times per year to inspire and be inspired. The purpose of the Alliance Roundtable is to facilitate learning, sharing and networking among senior alliance leaders.
During these meetings, alliance practices and challenges will be shared and discussed by the participants. In participating, you have the unique opportunity to informally and confidentially (‘Chatham house rule’) meet with your peers on a regular basis. Membership is exclusive and personal, thus ensuring we have the right peers at the Roundtable.
