Connecting Leaders Through Peer-Driven Experiences
The PEER 150 Story:
In the bustling world of business events, we saw a recurring theme: senior leaders gathering in hotel ballrooms and convention centers, often in formal, impersonal settings. We recognized a need for change. We believed that genuine connections and impactful discussions were stifled by the traditional conference format and wanted to revolutionize the way executives network and learn from each other.
We envisioned an “un-conference” conference group—one that broke away from the rigidity of conventional events and instead fostered an environment where leaders could truly be themselves. We wanted to create unique experiences that encouraged open dialogue, candid presentations, and the cross-pollination of ideas among leaders facing similar challenges.
Thus, in 2014, The PEER 150 was born.
The concept was simple yet transformative: instead of impersonal venues, canned speeches, and vendor pavilions, our members host many of the gatherings at their own headquarters. This approach not only provides a more intimate and comfortable setting but also allows leaders to showcase their company cultures and innovative workspaces. The “Come As You Are” philosophy was central to our mission, promoting authenticity and transparency in every interaction.
Word quickly spread about the refreshing and impactful nature of these events. The PEER 150 began to attract a growing number of senior leaders who were eager to participate in this new kind of networking experience. The vision was becoming a reality: a dynamic and engaged community of executives who were committed to learning from each other and driving their organizations forward.
Today, The PEER 150 is renowned as the premier “un-conference” conference group, bringing together senior executives from some of the most respected and innovative companies worldwide. Our members rely on us to provide a platform for candid discussions, collaborative problem-solving, and personal growth. The unique format creates an unparalleled experience that blends professional development with genuine camaraderie.
The bold departure from the traditional events world has paved the way for a new era of executive networking. The PEER 150 stands as a testament to the power of authentic connections and the impact of a community-driven approach. We remain committed to our founding principles, always striving to create experiences that empower leaders to achieve their full potential.
