The Forum

Most events put leaders on stage. This one puts them around a table

A port operator, an aerospace engineer and an AI founder each see a different piece of the same future. The Forum puts them in one room in Marrakech, with a mandate: build together. International collaboration, cross-industry synergies, new initiatives.

✦

Strategic Roundtables

Closed doors, no audience, nothing on the record. Peer conversations built for candour and decisions.

  • Curated themes shaped with participants
  • Cross-industry seats at every table
  • Chatham House spirit

Each roundtable seats 10 to 14 leaders around a single theme, moderated by an EXECINNOV partner. No press, no recording, no titles on the table — just the conversation. Participants receive the theme brief two weeks ahead, so the room starts at depth rather than introductions.

✧

Executive Workshops

Working sessions in small groups. Leaders leave with alliances, initiatives and a follow-up date.

  • Small working groups, senior only
  • From ambition to actionable roadmaps
  • Facilitated by EXECINNOV & guest experts

Groups of 6 to 8, built around a real brief brought by one of the participants. Each workshop closes with a named next step, an owner and a date — tracked afterwards inside the EXECINNOV network rather than left in a slide deck.
