"I met Glenn and Charmaine in a previous AB and we hit it off straightaway. It’s the people that makes the business thrive and with additional talent like you and Jay I see CXO becoming a firmly established and successful organisation. One year on, having the pleasure of working with such diverse talent and expertise gathered on the AB is a pleasure to be amongst such colleagues. The USP for me is that there are no egos and everyone respects everyone’s views, opinions and the humour and banter is a additional bonus. As I said, it’s the people who make it and I wish CXO Portals a long and successful future."

"I have worked with CXO Portals for several events and there's a reason why I always rebook! Their team consistently delivers, often working from the small target account lists provided. What truly sets CXO Portals apart from others is the quality of attendees, the individuals attending our boardroom dinners are the ultimate decision-makers actively engage in meaningful conversations throughout the evening. I can’t recommend CXO Portals enough."

Heather Pearse, Marketing Director EMEA & APAC AppOmni

"We have worked with a number of companies over the last few years who promise to connect us with key decision makers at enterprise level organisations. Up to now, I have always been left feeling disappointed with few able to deliver their initial sales patter.
CXO Portals are different. From the work we have done together so far, not only are they extremely easy to work with, but they actually do get senior IT leaders to register, and more importantly, attend their events with a want to engage with us. They are also extremely diligent in ensuring the people invited/attending are relevant prospects. I would highly recommend Glenn and the CXO Portals team."

"Being part of the CXO Portals advisory board has been an exceptional privilege. Its been an excellent extra-curricular activity both to stay on top of technology trends, but also to build very strong relationships with my peers on the board. During my tenure on the advisory board, I've had support from a fellow member in finding a new technology leadership role following redundancy earlier this year, helped identify a consultancy partner to help with building a new AI tool, and been kept in the loop by the team on key developments in the technology sustainability sphere. All in all, the CXO Portals advisory board is an exceptionally strong and collegiate group!"

"Reflecting on the past year with CXO as we celebrate our first birthday, it has been a labour of love in many ways for myself and the other members. Whether it is our board meetings, the conferences, the community forums or our hosted events, what strikes me most is the passion this group of individuals has for what we do. Against an ever-changing backdrop of exciting exponential technology innovation, CXO has provided a platform to share, explore and challenge our thinking, build networks, share camaraderie and fuel our curiosity on the art of the possible and the future ahead."

Kari-Anne Clayton – CXO Portals Advisory Board Member

"Happy Birthday CXO Portals and thank you for creating a superb environment to share now and next thinking - a cross-sector collaborative environment, well facilitated and organised.
