Moderator
Chris Skinner is often requested to chair a conference, and on these occasions, the same fee rates apply as for ‘General Presentations’. Chris will facilitate a meaningful and engaging conversation among a group of experts or participants. His primary responsibility is to ensure that the discussion stays on track, provides valuable insights to the audience, and remains respectful and productive.
Dinner with Skinner
The Finanser invites C-suite members of targeted prospects and customers of ABC to the roundtable discussions. The discussions are held as a ‘research meeting’ under the Chatham House Rule. By using the Finanser as an independent firm, and framing the dinner as a research event, there is impartiality and a clear method of ensuring this does not breach any improprieties. ABC’s business development staff are able to attend, usually at a level of 1 person to every 3-4 CxO attendees
