Roundtable Session Participation:
Chatham House Rule for Engagement
To foster greater collaboration and shared insights from executive peers Event roundtable sessions operate under the Chatham House Rule. This means that comments or information shared by Attendees, ADAPT Staff or Strategic Partners during the discussion are available to be shared outside the session, however the source (Individual or Company – whether identified by name or description) of which the content originated is considered private and confidential and cannot be disclosed. No recording (audio, video or photographic) by Attendees is permitted during these sessions. We reserve the right to remove any Attendee who does not abide by these requirements.
Scheduling Conflicts and Availability
Prior to the Event, Attendees will have the ability to select their preferred roundtable sessions that they would like to participate in via our Event web portal. This information is cross-referenced and taken into consideration with scheduled Strategic Partner meetings to build a custom itinerary for each Attendee.
On the day you may request to attend additional roundtable sessions by speaking with onsite Staff. Participation in additional sessions is subject to Staff approval and conditional on the session timing not conflicting with an existing or pre-arranged Strategic Partner Meeting.
Participation in sessions may be subject to availability due to venue capacity restrictions.
Pre-Event Insights Survey:
One of the primary reasons we attract leading executive Attendees to ADAPT Events is we’re able to provide unique localised insights into the current trends and top priorities of the ANZ executive community.
Through direct feedback from Attendees, this peer insight is of great value in enabling them to better validate strategies, build strategic plans and explore new approaches to improving operational effectiveness.
All Attendees will complete a Survey prior to the Event covering a range of topics including, but not limited to; business objectives, barriers to execution, innovation and areas of investment priority. This data is summarised by ADAPT analyst Staff and utilised to create benchmarking content for on-site presentations, roundtable sessions and additional post-event research content.
Survey data provided is also used by ADAPT to intelligently match and schedule you with Strategic Partners for onsite (in person or virtual) meetings to help ensure you’re connecting with the most relevant local suppliers.
Additionally, to save you time repeating yourself in meetings and to ensure interactions with Strategic Partners are as of maximum value, each Event Strategic Partner is provided with a digital PDF copy of individual Attendee survey results and briefed by ADAPT Staff in the best means to engage Attendees onsite and post-Event. This may include personal information of those involved in your business. You will ensure that all required privacy consents are in place for disclosure of this information and its use in accordance with these terms.
Completion of the Survey is a required step in finalising and confirming your registration to attend the Event. By registering and completing the Survey you agree to the general business usage outlined in these Terms and in accordance with ADAPT’s Privacy Policy. Should you wish to have your survey responses excluded from usage, please contact your account manager.
The information provided in response to the survey may be commercially important to your organisation. You warrant that you have the authority from your organisation to provide this information to us. We will not share your strategic information with your competitors, other than in a de-identified way.
Participation in Onsite (In-Person or Virtual) Meetings:
While there is no direct monetary fee to participate in this Event, as an invitation-only Attendee, we require each Attendee to participate in a series of pre-qualified meetings with Event Strategic Partners arranged prior to and during the Event.
Our intent is to ensure these meetings are of maximum value to you by ensuring you are intelligently matched with the most relevant Strategic Partners.
Prior to the Event you will be provided with a list of confirmed Strategic Partners along with a capability profile on each for you to identify which Strategic Partners you would prefer to meet with. Using this information, plus the data provided in your pre-Event survey, we will intelligently match you with a mixture of 1:1 Meetings with your preferences, as well as Strategic Partners who have capabilities aligned to your investment plans and business priorities.
Your meetings will be scheduled into your custom itinerary which can be accessed prior to the Event and on the day via the Event App. You have the right to request a change in any Meetings via your account manager should you believe there is not a reasonable alignment with the Strategic Partner. ADAPT however, reserves the right to make all final decisions regarding the scheduling of meetings.
This proven model has made ADAPT a leader in the executive event industry with hundreds of testimonials attesting to the value of engaging with Strategic Partners onsite and our genuine and honest approach.
Strategic Partner Engagement & Communications:
ADAPT’s Strategic Partner model provides Attendees with the unique opportunity to conveniently meet and engage with suppliers that can support the achievement and delivery of business objectives. It enables Attendees the opportunity to connect directly with Strategic Partner representatives to establish business relationships, learn about new technologies or tools and align capabilities with planned investments.
All our Strategic Partners are qualified to participate in the Event by ADAPT approval only and are guided by ADAPT Staff in the best approach to add value in Attendee engagements.
By registering for this Event you agree for ADAPT to provide your basic contact information (Name, Title, Company Name, Company Phone, Mobile Contact Number in our records) to the Event Strategic Partners, together with your survey responses, and grant them the permission to keep you informed of their products, services, promotions and offerings. ADAPT will only provide your email address and mobile number to Strategic Partners with whom you have had a direct in-person or digital interaction via a 1:1 meeting or via the Event App.
At any point in time, it is your right to withdraw your marketing consent with individual Strategic Partner by unsubscribing through the instructions provided in their communications. For questions about how a Strategic Partner will handle your information, please refer to their privacy policy.
