The Unobtanium Roundtable
The Roundtable You Curate. The Conversation They'll Remember.
A bespoke gathering for the buyers your sales team has been chasing for two quarters. You bring the guest list. We bring the finesse — the venue, the chef, the hospitality that puts every guest at ease from the moment they arrive.

The Problem We Solve
The hardest people in enterprise to get in a room are the ones you most need to meet.
CISOs, CIOs, Heads of Data, Heads of AI. Their inboxes are saturated. Their calendars are protected. They’ve sat through every vendor breakfast and every panel discussion that’s ever been organised in their honour.
The conventional formats no longer work. Sponsored conferences feel transactional. Webinars don’t get watched. “Quick coffee” requests sit in inbox purgatory. And the rare client dinner that does land is usually forgotten by the following Monday.
What works, still, is a properly curated table. The right twelve to sixteen people, in a room they actually want to be in, with the format invisible enough to let real conversation happen. That is the entire premise of the Unobtanium Roundtable.
What Makes It Different
Engagement is the only metric that matters.
Most B2B hospitality is built for the host. Logos on the menu, a sponsor talk between courses, a name badge in the way of every handshake. Guests sense it immediately, and the conversation never recovers.
We build the day around the guest. The venue is somewhere they’ve heard about but never been. The chef is cooking off-menu, just for the table. The wines are pours they’ve read about but rarely seen open. The hospitality is the kind that anticipates rather than performs.
Your role in the room is to be the most generous person at the table — the one who organised this, who knows everyone, who brought them together. That is a profoundly different commercial posture than “the vendor who sponsored the dinner.” It is also the only posture that converts in this market.

An All-Encompassing Service
You provide the guest list.
We curate the rest.
Every element of the day is handled in-house or by long-standing partners. You receive a single point of contact, a confirmed roster of attending guests, and a day you didn’t have to lift a finger to produce.
Venue selection
Hand-picked from our private network of restaurants, residences, hotel suites, and members’ clubs. Rooms that don’t appear on booking platforms. Often spaces our partners only open for us.
Guest engagement
Personalised pre-event correspondence to every guest on your behalf. Dietary capture, calendar holds, day-before confirmations, and on-the-day greeting. Your guests feel looked after long before they arrive.
Culinary direction
Bespoke menu development with the venue’s chef. Off-menu dishes, seasonal sourcing, and a wine pairing built for the room. Where appropriate, the chef will come to the table.
Conversation design
A discreet seating plan, a single opening prompt that earns its keep, and a host briefing for your team. No panel. No pitch deck. No moderated discussion. Just the architecture that allows real conversation to happen.
Day-of choreography
An Unobtanium host present from arrival to departure, working quietly in the background. Greeting, gifting, transitions, and the small adjustments that make the day feel effortless.
Memory making
A small, considered gift at each setting. Photography where the room allows. A follow-up note to every guest the next morning, on your behalf. The day continues to land for weeks afterwards.

Formats Available
Two formats, one standard.
The format flexes to your guest list and your commercial moment. The standard of execution does not.
Format 1
The Long Lunch
A three-to-four hour midday gathering. Up to sixteen seats. The format that suits CISOs and CIOs best — out of the office, back in the office, no overnight commitment. The DX1 lunch in April was this format.
Format 2
The Private Dinner
An evening engagement, often in a residence or a private dining room. Up to sixteen seats. The format for senior commercial relationships — partners welcome, the day’s work left at the door.
How It Works
From brief to first handshake.
01
The Brief
The format flexes to your guest list and your commercial moment. The standard of execution does not.
02
The Curation
You finalise the guest list. We take it from there. Personal invitations are sent on your behalf, calendar holds are confirmed, dietaries are captured, and the venue is locked in. A weekly status note keeps you informed without requiring your involvement.
03
The Day
You arrive as a host, not a logistics manager. The room is ready, the guests are greeted, the choreography is invisible. Your job is to be present and generous. Ours is everything else.
04
The Follow-Through
A written debrief within five business days, including verbatim guest reactions where appropriate. A follow-up note sent to every guest on your behalf the morning after. Photography delivered. Suggested next steps for each relationship in the room.
Next Step
Bring us the guest list.
If there is a list of sixteen people you would meaningfully change the trajectory of your year by getting in a room together, that is the brief. The rest is ours to handle.
