Institute Think Tanks
Private executive dinners bringing together original research, industry experience, and candid, moderated discussion.
One question. Everyone in the conversation.
A moderator keeps the room on topic and makes space for different perspectives. Participants explain their decisions, compare experiences, and challenge one another’s assumptions.

Prepared for
the conversation.
The questions are developed for each dinner. Participants bring the experience that gives those questions depth.
The research includes your experience.
Before dinner, participants answer ten questions about the topic. Their selections and written perspectives form the research used to build that evening’s booklet.
Different industries.
Different questions.
The same depth of discussion.
Think Tanks take place across cities and industries, as standalone dinners and as surround dinners for summits and other industry events. Each brings together people with experience relevant to the topic.
Financial services, healthcare, energy, and other industries each bring distinct operating conditions. A focused dinner gives leaders room to examine the decisions, constraints, and priorities specific to their field.
