CWO Dinneron a grand scale
We’re thrilled to bring the prestigious CWO Society Dinner experience back to our second home – New York City. Alongside 50 senior leaders from New York’s finest financial services, banking, insurance and private equity firms, we invite you to the Conservatory at the Virgin Hotel. You’ll meet some of the most innovative technology companies in the US for an evening of networking and insight on a grand scale.
Each guest will join a table of tech sponsors and their finance peers to discuss shared challenges and opportunities, while enjoying some of the city’s best cuisine and a paired wine-tasting experience from a certified wine expert. After a blind tasting of six carefully chosen fine wines, guests will then compete for the coveted title of Chief Wine Officer. Will it be you?
Don’t delay—spaces for these events fill up quickly, and due to the high demand there are often waiting lists. You’re welcome to recommend a relevant senior colleague by contacting one of our Event Directors—but RSVP now to ensure your seat is secured.
