Tiburon CEO Summits Attendee Policy

Tiburon maintains a list of over 3,000 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 Tiburon CEO Summit is limited to 150 executives and is reserved for Tiburon's clients. If you are an executive-level Tiburon client and would like to participate in a future Tiburon CEO Summit, please contact Tiburon's Managing Principal Chip Roame.

• Seniority: Tiburon is making a big effort to limit attendance to the CEOs and leading strategy makers from its client companies. Almost all attendees have C level titles (CEOs, COOs, CFOs, & CIOs); a handful are executive vice presidents leading core business units and/or internal business strategy groups and a few others are business heads
  
• Clients: Since Tiburon hosts the events, it is economic reality that the group must be limited to senior executives who have previously benefited from Tiburon's research-based strategy consulting work

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.

If you are not yet a Tiburon client the fastest way to become a client and instantly earn your company an invitation is to purchase an online Tiburon Research Report. You can also contact Sarah Sage if you are interested in becoming a Tiburon Client.

Tiburon CEO Summits Media Policy

For Tiburon CEO Summit XIX, select media will be welcome to attend and participate in the following events:

• Tiburon CEO Summit XIX Keynote Opening Presentation by Tiburon Managing Principal Chip Roame (and Web Ex for those Unable to Attend in Person)
  
• Tiburon CEO Summit XIX Awards Presentation

A few media policies are necessary for maintaining the openness of the Tiburon CEO Summits:

• Media representatives seeking entrance should have previously worked closely with Tiburon's media relations manager leveraging Tiburon's core research
  
• Media representatives should be planning to utilize Tiburon CEO Summit learnings in story development, with attribution if appropriate
  
• Media representatives must respect that Tiburon CEO Summit attendees have the right to declare any statement as not for publication
  
• Media representatives shall not record, print, or otherwise use the last names and financial information of consumer panelists
  

Tiburon is happy to have media representatives attend its CEO Summits and spread the word about maintaining a focus on consumer needs and challenging conventional wisdom. But that said, frank and open conversations will be prioritized every time over media coverage.
