ARF Thought Leader Series

Thought Leader Series

How much time and money does it cost your organization to develop 30-40 solid leads? The ARF can help you achieve this goal.

Host a private, invitation only learning session at ARF Headquarters. It can be a breakfast, lunch or cocktail session dedicated to your choice of presentation format: panel discussion, presentation, case history, interactive activities, etc. It is an opportunity to exchange education, insights and new industry knowledge to your targeted audience.

How it works:

  • The ARF will search through the ARF database and to invite your targeted prospects to your learning session from personal email and phone outreach. You tell us the titles and verticals you are targeting and we will target 30-40 attendees.
  • No other vendors will be in attendance.
  • We will also help provide speakers if needed, and brand it as a “partnered” event between your firm and the ARF.
  • Hosting a Thought Leader Series is a streamlined event planning process: venue space, catering and audiovisual service all inclusive.

More Testimonials:

The Thought Leader Forum SSI conducted with ARF was truly an outstanding experience.  ARF helped us put together a compelling panel—and the result was a highly dynamic session, with all attendees deeply engaged and actively participating.  We were extremely pleased with the outcome.  Chris was a pleasure to work with and provided great support throughout the planning process.  He helped us create a quality program that exceeded our objectives.  The best evidence I can give of the session’s success is that we are already planning another!
Ilene Siegalovsky Vice President Global Marketing, SSI

The ARF’s Thought Leader series is a terrific forum for discussing ideas with a targeted and engaged group.  Market Probe’s Session – “Brands and Passion – How Hot Brands Stay Cool in a Changing World” was great fun for us to host.  Not only did we have wonderful panelists in  Todd Powers of the ARF and Belle Frank and Michael Sussman from Y&R, we had an enthusiastic audience that dove right in to the workshop portion of the session.  The discussion was so lively, that I think people would have continued to talk about brands and passion for another hour!

Testimonials

"We are very pleased with the success of the ARF event that helped us highlight ADimension and Research Now’s core services. The attendees were all within our target audience, and most were from companies we have been trying to speak with about our new product. As a result of conversations directly following the presentation, we received invitations to present at several companies and a handful of RFPs. The ARF did a great job setting up the event and providing a presentation that was cohesive with our messaging."

"ARF Thought Leadership Series are terrific. The content of the presentation tonight was insightful and helpful in sparking new thoughts for how we can continue to bring new ideas to our clients in innovation creation. The informal networking discussions right after the presentation were also helpful to share and build on new ideas and opportunities going forward with complementary agencies."
