2023 Wrap Up

2023 is nearly over so CXO Portals would love to take the opportunity to thank all our staff, clients and partners for a full on, but thoroughly enjoyable first five months.

The beginning of 2023 didn’t start as planned, myself and Glenn Hapgood initially went into business with someone who didn’t follow our ethics nor truly appreciated how a successful event should run.

We bravely parted ways (it wasn’t pretty) and in August launched our own start-up events business. Our original business name was cruelly stolen from under our noses and so overnight we set up all over again becoming CXO Portals, which, as a name, we’ve grown to love more.

Any start-up will appreciate how daunting and tough it is starting out – we accomplished it not once but twice and still lived to tell the tale!

Since our launch in August our small team of six have successfully hosted nine bespoke evening dinners and moderated three virtual roundtables. The team have travelled to London, Manchester, Paris, Berlin, Wiesbaden and San Francisco. We confirmed our fantastic Advisory Board of twenty-one members and launched our delegate led Community which is growing in numbers every day.

The start to 2024 will undoubtedly be better, as our fabulous team in January will double with some cracking new starters (thank you Jay Barter), we’ll be hosting many more world class events and can also really kick start ai:NOW alongside Veaceslav Driglov, MBA.

Follow us on LinkedIn, our website News Feed or Instagram page as we share the beautiful places we visit, the superb Michelin dishes we try and the challenges we undertake in aid of our chosen charity for 2024; The Alzheimer’s Society.

So as we see out 2023 regretting nothing, learning lots and ready to jump two-feet into 2024, Happy New Year to all wherever you are in the world, enjoy!
