Roundtable events​

A roundtable event offers an effective way for you to position your organisation as an industry thought leader. The event, hosted at a venue of your choice, affords you an opportunity to debate a hot topic with invited industry experts. Roundtables offer sponsors intimate networking opportunities with existing key clients, hand-picked industry experts and new business prospects. The event will be attended by a STEP Journal writer and the highlights of the debate will be written up as a feature within the STEP Journal, which is circulated to its influential readership in print, and will be carried online.

“Equiom Group sponsored a STEP Journal roundtable in March 2022, the first such event after the pandemic. The experts that STEP brought together to discuss the topic were of the highest quality and, alongside our own thought leaders, a long and healthily robust debate was had. The roundtable format not only gave us the opportunity to discuss a topic in detail with subject matter experts, but also position ourselves as experts and develop new relationships with those individuals based on a recognition of each other’s expertise. The subsequent write up of the discussion was superb and we still use the content today.”
