CXO Portals Recaps a Successful 2024

A Message From The CEO's

“Without doubt our biggest achievement of the year isn’t a specific event, nor our first conference, or rebooking clients time after time, it’s the CXO team we have around us. Our team is the absolute loyal backbone of this little company, who have given blood, sweat and tears to 2024 (hands off anyone trying to poach them) and thank you, you special team for being a part of this wonderful journey. Also, a huge thank you as ever to our fantastic Advisory Board and attendees who have trusted in us and enabled us to deliver world class events, but also to our select paying partners who are the ultimate reason we are able to do what we do so well.” – Charmaine Baker.
