Executive Engagement
Executive roundtables: the right conversations with the right people.
We connect your team with senior decision-makers through curated, high-trust engagements, from intimate roundtables to targeted relationship-building.
Relationships close deals. Cold calls don’t.
Senior executives rarely take sales meetings. They will join a well-run discussion with peers on a topic that matters to them.
That’s where real commercial relationships start, without the pressure of a pitch.
Executive Engagement. Answered.
What is executive engagement?
Curated opportunities for your team to spend meaningful time with senior decision-makers. That includes roundtables, breakfast briefings, private dinners and one-to-one relationship building.
Who attends?
CIOs, CEOs, MDs and other senior leaders across banking, insurance, retail, telecoms and enterprise. We invite people who match the profile you agree with us, not whoever happens to be available.
How do you get senior people to attend?
Through relationships built over years. Our network of 116,875 LinkedIn connections is managed as a live database, so we know when people move roles, and TechCentral’s standing with South Africa’s technology leaders gives every invitation credibility.
How big are the sessions?
Small by design. Roundtables usually host 8 to 12 guests and breakfasts 12 to 15. That keeps the conversation open and gives your team real time with each person.
Will guests know who is hosting?
Yes. Invitations make it clear who is hosting and sponsoring. Being open about it builds trust and means the people who accept are interested.
Can we exclude competitors?
Yes, within reason. You can name a limited number of companies to exclude, such as direct competitors, and we’ll respect that when building the guest list.
What do we receive?
You see the guest list before the event, then receive photographs and a post-event report afterwards. Follow-up with guests stays with your team, so the relationships are yours.
How far ahead should we plan?
Start the conversation at least three months out. We need a signed agreement six weeks before the event to secure the right guests.
Let’s talk about executive engagement.
Tell us who you need to reach and what you want to achieve. We’ll recommend an approach that fits your market.
Real relationships. Real results.
The Publishared team quickly became an extended arm of the Trend Micro team, and the entire day was so well organised that once we were introduced to our key target market, all we had to focus on was networking with these senior new connections. These types of engagements are key to forging future collaborations with our customers.

Thank you for a spectacular event! It was high impact and so memorable! A truly exceptional experience!
