Independent commercial service • no organiser affiliation • proposals scoped per brief
Bring the right executives into the conversation
A private dinner or roundtable is only valuable if its guest list matches the host’s purpose. Pearl Lemon Leads scopes account-based CXO audience research, personalised invitations, response qualification, RSVP coordination and reconfirmation for invitation-only corporate meetings. Our job is to operate a careful outreach and guest-management process, not to promise specific people will attend.
Brief us on your executive roundtable.
Formats we can support
- 8–24-person executive breakfasts or dinners
- Corporate leadership roundtables and closed-door briefings
- Private investor, private-equity, fintech and technology discussions
- Side events around Davos, Money20/20, MIPIM, SuperReturn and MWC, where independently hosted meetings are permitted
- Series of small executive dinners across several markets
No claim of official accreditation, organiser affiliation, delegate access or past delivery at any particular named conference is implied.
The audience strategy comes before invitations
We start by agreeing the business question, the guest persona, the relationship between attendees, any competitor exclusions and what genuine reason someone has to attend. We recommend a credible senior host and a non-sales-led conversation. A guest list of just twelve people may require broader target-account research, but invite volume and likely show-up rates are hypotheses for scoping, not guarantees.
A structured guest journey
- Profile: approved organisations, seniority, business functions, regions and exclusion list.
- Research: relevant senior individuals and approved contact channels; maintain a source and legitimacy record.
- Invite: tailored outreach anchored in the topic, host and peer value.
- Qualify: assess actual fit, availability and interest; don’t classify an opened email as an RSVP.
- Coordinate: guest preferences, calendar holds, briefing notes and any approved data transfers.
- Reconfirm: respectful reminders and reserve-list management, with late cancellations documented.
- Close out: attendance reconciliation and consent-respecting follow-up to the host team.
What reporting looks like
We separate researched contacts, contacted individuals, replies, positive interest, invitations accepted, registered guests, reconfirmed guests, actual attendance and requested follow-ups. The host can review account coverage without receiving unnecessary personal data. A live tracker is only as reliable as confirmations received from participants and the event team.
Who does what
Pearl Lemon Leads can run audience research, communications and RSVP operations. The client’s senior executives should make warm introductions where possible and take ownership of the final relationship-building conversation. Venue sourcing, security, catering, permits, physical guest experience and in-person event operation are separate scopes through
Pearl Lemon Experiences or an agreed supplier, not silently bundled into an outreach fee.
How we scope a profitable and fair engagement
A proposal defines research/contact caps, approved channels, languages, campaign period, seniority criteria, response management hours, reporting frequency, revisions, and optional on-site support. Expenses, paid datasets, venue costs and third-party services are separately identified. Fees are for deliverable work; we will not guarantee named executives or a minimum attendance count.
Event-specific considerations
Davos: independently hosted side events face venue and accommodation constraints and must not be presented as WEF-accredited activity.
Money20/20 or Sibos: finance leaders may have highly structured appointment diaries, making early account mapping important.
SuperReturn or MIPIM: investor relationships, confidentiality and guest seniority shape both the invitation and the discussion.
What we need from you
Provide the date and venue (if known), proposed topic, senior hosts, target sectors and account list, current invitation status, expected guest mix, budget, and the decision deadline. We can develop a fixed-scope, accountable invitation and follow-up programme from that brief.
Discuss CXO guest acquisition. See our
conference appointment-setting service if you need a wider exhibitor meeting programme.
Frequently asked questions
Can you fill a 15-person roundtable?
We can design and execute a qualified guest acquisition process, but cannot responsibly guarantee fifteen confirmed attendees or their physical arrival.
Who sends the invitation?
That depends on the relationship. A personal note from the senior host can be more appropriate for priority strategic accounts; our team can prepare, coordinate and follow up within the agreed role split.
Do you organise the dinner as well?
Physical event and hospitality delivery can be quoted through Pearl Lemon Experiences or specialist partners after venue and supplier feasibility checks.
