Tiburon CEO Summits
Tiburon's CEO Summits provide a unique opportunity for a select cross-industry group of senior executives to discuss a broad swath of issues regarding the future of the brokerage, investments, advice, and wealth management businesses. Tiburon's CEO Summits likely provide the only true forum where financial services industry CEOs from across traditional industry silos gather to discuss business opportunities. The list of business relationships resulting from prior Tiburon CEO Summits is impressive. Tiburon CEO Summits last two-to-three days and focus on in-depth discussions of Tiburon research and leading-edge business models through guest presentations, panel discussions, and break-out sessions. Guest speakers generally support the twin themes of challenging conventional wisdom and maintaining a consumer-orientation. General sessions also often address industry mergers & acquisitions, venture capital & private equity trends, corporate governance, and industry policy issues. Panel discussions revolve around client, financial advisor, and distributor needs (representing all levels of "clients"). Break-out sessions allow for more in-depth discussion on timely topics. Executive-level Tiburon clients are invited to participate along with a handful of media representatives in a forum of open sharing and discussion of industry trends. The meetings have become a hot ticket for industry executives. There is no cost to attend beyond one's travel expenses. Attendance is by invitation only; all attendees are Tiburon clients. Context Setting Four unique features distinguish Tiburon's CEO Summits from broader industry conferences:
Tiburon CEO Summits have come to support two central themes:

Speakers Policy Based on feedback from prior Tiburon CEO Summits, Tiburon predominantly invites financial services industry CEOs for the CEO Summit guest speaker slots. Attendees repeatedly report that they take away the most from other CEOs in like situations, and this fosters the collaborative environment sought. Speakers are asked to discuss both their views on industry developments and their businesses. Tiburon deliberately structures time for questions & answers with each speaker, again to foster the collaborative environment. Aside from Tiburon's own Managing Principal Chip Roame (who kicks-off each CEO Summit), past & upcoming speakers have included:
Attendee Policy Tiburon maintains a list of almost 2,000 executive-level clients at over 300 companies who have engaged the firm, many of whom have actively participated in prior Tiburon CEO Summits. Attendance at each Summit is limited to about 100 executives and is reserved for Tiburon's clients. If you are a Tiburon client and would like to participate in a future Tiburon CEO Summit, please contact Tiburon's Managing Principal Chip Roame or one of the firm's CEO Summit Planning Committee members listed below.
Attendees at Tiburon CEO Summit VI in San Francisco, CA listen intently to a general session speaker More specifically, there are two specific attendee policies:
Delegation Policy Once invitations are extended, delegation is not allowed. Tiburon realizes that if substitutes are allowed, the firm may quickly end up hosting a vice presidents Summit, instead of a CEOs Summit. Due to the frequency and other commitments, many Tiburon clients attend Tiburon's CEO Summits only periodically, but are still granted seats as long as they remain active Tiburon clients. Participation Policy Attendees at Tiburon's CEO Summits have agreed to openly share non-proprietary insights about their own and other business models. Broad participation of all attendees is necessary for success. In short, attendees agree to:
Media Policy Select media representatives are permitted to attend Tiburon's CEO Summits. However, a few media policies are necessary for saving the majority of seats for Tiburon clients and maintaining the openness of the Summits:
Tiburon is happy to have media representatives attend its CEO Summits and spread the word about challenging conventional wisdom and maintaining a consumer orientation. But that said, frank and open conversations will be prioritized every time over media coverage. Previous Media Coverage Tiburon allows a select few media representatives to attend its CEO Summits. Media coverage will be posted here soon.
