C-Suite networking
Chief Wine Officer:Celebrating twodecades
We’re celebrating a huge milestone for the Chief Nation team. This year marks two decades of connecting the world’s tech giants with their hard-to-reach targets. From our first London-based dinner, to hopping over the pond to the US, before pivoting virtually in response to the pandemic, CWO has seen it all, and has now become our primary service for the tech world.
We’ve hosted events globally, both in-person and online, for thousands of C-level executives from all walks of the corporate world.
Here’s what 20 years in the making has brought CWO, from our formats, audience, locations, venues, and hosts. Who knows where the next 20 years will take us!
