Events & Webinars

Most webinars are sales pitches with slides. The firm convenes for the opposite reason.

Events & Webinars is where the firm convenes and appears — briefings, panels, and webinars on the questions its work turns on. These are not lead-generation events dressed as content; in keeping with the firm's quiet register, it convenes when there is a conversation worth advancing and appears where the discussion is serious. Upcoming events can be registered for here; past ones leave their recordings and materials behind. Substance, not a sales funnel.

THE STANDARD

Convened to advance a conversation, not to fill a funnel.

The webinar has become one of the least trusted formats in professional life — too often a sales pitch behind a registration wall, content thin enough to be a pretext for a follow-up call. The firm uses the format for the opposite purpose: to convene the people who work on a hard question, and to advance the conversation rather than capture an audience. An event here is led by people who do the work, built around substance that stands on its own, and left behind as a recording so its value outlasts the hour.

Events & Webinars is where Ariana Nexus convenes and appears — briefings, panels, and webinars on the questions its work turns on. These are substantive convenings led by the firm's senior practitioners, not lead-generation events; upcoming events can be registered for and past ones leave their recordings and materials. The firm convenes when there is something worth convening about, not on a calendar.
Substantive
About the questions the work turns on — not lead generation dressed as content.
Expert-led
Led by the firm's senior practitioners and genuine experts, not a sales team.
Open

Restrained

WHY CONVENE

An hour is worth asking for only if it is worth spending.

The firm convenes when the conversation is real and the people in the room do the work — and it records what happens, so the value is there for those who could not attend. The event is the substance, not the sign-up.

Convened, not sold.

An event built to capture an audience is advertising. One built to advance a conversation is worth the hour. The firm convenes only the second kind.

WHAT IT CONVENES

The kinds of gatherings.

Briefings
Institutional briefings on the questions the firm's work turns on.
Panels
Expert discussions convening the people who work on a problem.
Webinars
Substantive sessions, open and recorded.
Appearances
Where the firm appears at others' convenings — conferences, forums, and hearings.
THE CALENDAR

Upcoming and past.

The calendar is in two parts — upcoming events you can register for, and past events that leave their recordings and materials behind. Both are bound to the firm's Research catalog, and both are new.

Upcoming
Scheduled events — register to attend

No events are currently scheduled. When the firm convenes or appears, the event will be listed here — with the details, and a way to register.

Past
Held events — recordings and materials

Past events and their recordings will appear here as the firm builds a record of them. Nothing is listed that did not happen.

ACCESS

Listed when scheduled — registered here, recorded for later.

Events are listed as they are scheduled, not to fill a calendar. Upcoming events can be registered for here; past events leave their recordings and materials, so the substance is available whether or not you were in the room. Events of note also appear in the Newsroom.

Convened when it is worth convening.

For those who would rather spend an hour on a real conversation than a sales pitch. Upcoming events are listed here when scheduled; for everything else, the conversation starts here.
