The intersection where the next decade of enterprise sales is being decided.

The hard question in enterprise B2B sales right now isn't what AI does to outbound — it's what AI does to relationship-driven work. The multi-stakeholder, multi-year, executive-level deals that determine whether a strategic account compounds or churns.

This summit brings senior leaders from global enterprises into a curated peer environment to work that question. Five executive keynotes, two structured round-table dilemma sessions, a peer plenary, and a networking reception — built on the assumption that the room is the asset.

By invitation. We review and confirm within two business days. Bringing colleagues? They request seats separately.

Confirmed speakers

Five executives. One half-day. No vendors on stage.

Each keynote is twenty minutes. Round-table dilemmas put the room in conversation, not the stage.

FAQ

Common questions about the summit.

Who is this event for?

Senior leaders responsible for enterprise B2B sales at global organisations — CROs, CCOs, VPs of Sales, Heads of Strategic Account Management, and senior RevOps / Sales Transformation leaders. The intent is C-suite-to-C-suite peer dialogue, not a vendor briefing. Additional colleagues from the same organisation are welcome to request seats separately.

Why is it invitation-only?

The format depends on a curated room. Round-table dilemma sessions and a peer plenary work because every participant is operating at a comparable scale and stakes. Open registration would dilute the conversation.

Is there a fee to attend?

No. The event is free for confirmed attendees. Travel and accommodation are at the attendee's expense. The format is by invitation; submitting a request through this page enters our review process and we confirm availability separately.

Will the sessions be recorded or published?

Round-table conversations are off the record by design — that's part of why senior peers are willing to be candid in the room. ARPEDIO publishes a 1-page key-takeaways summary after the event, with attribution only where speakers explicitly approve. Speaker keynote topics may be re-published as recap material.

How is this connected to ARPEDIO's platform?

The platform sits in the background, not the foreground. ARPEDIO's ABS Maturity Assessment framework provides shared vocabulary across the day — the six enabler areas the round tables draw from — but no demos or pitches are part of the programme. Connections to ARPEDIO's customer work happen naturally in conversation, not from the stage.

What ARPEDIO is, between events.

The summit sits inside a broader practice — Account-Based Selling, Salesforce-native, with named customer deployments at Airbus, Perstorp, WBM, and others.
