Small groups, real access, every detail handled.
A delegation is a short, intense program built around one industry question. Here is how we design and run one, from the thesis to the follow-up.
Seven steps
Industry thesis & destination
We start with a question an industry is asking, and go where it is being answered first.
- One industry per program, never a generic tour
- Destination chosen for depth of access, not for the postcard
Curation of the group
12 to 15 senior executives, invited and vetted for seniority and relevance.
- C-level, VPs, directors, owners and board members
- A mix of countries and companies that makes the room richer
- Each participant shares their priorities before we finalise the agenda
Itinerary design
Five days, built with hosts and speakers around what the group needs to learn.
- A balance of sessions, site visits, roundtables and 1:1 meetings
- Every host receives a profile of the delegation in advance
Site visits
Operating sites where the change is happening: plants, fulfilment centres, terminals, labs, flagships.
- Small enough to walk the floor and ask real questions
Closed-door sessions
Keynotes, firesides and roundtables under the Chatham House rule.
- No press, no recording without consent
- No sales pitches, in either direction
Logistics
Everything on the ground, handled end to end.
- Hotels, transfers, meals and venues
- Interpretation English–Spanish (and Portuguese on request)
- Security coordination and a program director on site, 24/7
- Pre-departure briefing and travel guidance
Follow-up
The week is the beginning. We help turn it into decisions and relationships.
- A written synthesis and each company’s 90-day plan
- Introductions between participants and hosts, only when both sides want them
- A check-in at 30 and 90 days
Dense, but never rushed.
- 08:30 · Keynote or closed-door session
- 10:30 · Site visit at an operating facility
- 13:00 · Working lunch with a host or peers
- 15:00 · Start-up showcase, demo or roundtable
- 17:30 · Facilitated debrief: what applies at home
- 20:00 · Dinner, or an evening at leisure
Questions
How large is a delegation?
Between 12 and 15 executives. Small enough for real conversation, large enough to matter to a host.
In what language are sessions held?
Hosts present in English or their own language; we provide professional interpretation into Spanish, and Portuguese on request.
Are the companies and speakers confirmed?
We name hosts and speakers only after they confirm. Until then, our agendas describe sites generically.
Can a program be built for one company?
Yes. Alongside open delegations we design private programs for a single company’s leadership team.
