Roundtables at Corporate Innovation Summit give our event partners the opportunity to position themselves as experts in their industry, meeting with a group of up to 12 attendees in a casual environment.
The role of a roundtable is to engage with a small group of attendees on a specific topic and facilitate an open and interactive conversation. All attendees should be encouraged to participate.
Our partner's take the role of host of the discussion, the host’s role is not to deliver a presentation on the topic, but to facilitate an environment of conversation where participants are comfortable sharing their own thoughts.
The partner success team will send you a form to submit the title, and host details for your roundtable by the deadline of October 4.

Curating an incredible roundtable
Curating an incredible roundtable
Choose a topic that is engaging and relevant to your audience, preferably related to the four main headings that CIS focuses on: Innovation, Technology, Sustainability and Future trends.
Avoid sales pitches at all costs. Attendees don’t like them and they don’t work. Roundtables are an opportunity to position yourself as an expert and brainstorm new and interesting ideas with peers.
Try to keep your synopsis short and gripping with a “hook” question underpinning it. Example: Will AI change how we do business?
Please note that roundtable titles have a 55-character limit. All content is subject to final approval from the CIS team.
