What Quartz Network does

Quartz Network is a privately held, invitation-only executive networking and peer-led education platform founded in 2007 and headquartered in Hermosa Beach, California. It serves senior-level professionals — primarily C-suite and VP-level executives — from large enterprises by combining a complimentary membership model with function-specific leadership summits, peer discussion communities (InnerCircles), on-demand learning content, and a concierge-curated solutions matching portal. The platform is organized across nine business functions (Data Strategy & Analytics, Finance, Human Resources, Information Technology, Marketing, Operations & Transformation, Procurement, Smart Manufacturing, and Supply Chain) and operates summit sub-brands (CONNECT, VISIONS, SCOPE, IMPACT) that are delivered both in-person at venues such as the Hyatt Regency New Orleans and through virtual formats.

The underlying platform is a web-based membership system with event management, peer networking, on-demand content delivery, and a structured matchmaking workflow that connects member-stated project needs with vetted technology vendors. Notable proprietary components include InnerCircles (live, focused peer group discussions), a concierge scheduling service that builds personalized event agendas from member priorities, and a Solutions Matching Portal that rewards members for vendor engagement. The platform is SOC 2 Type II certified and operates with a US phone presence plus a UK toll-free line, indicating a transatlantic service footprint.

Quartz Network's business model is a two-sided marketplace monetized entirely on the supply side: membership is complimentary to qualified senior executives, while revenue is generated through solution provider sponsorship fees for events, tiered sponsorship packages (branding, exhibition, meeting slots, speaking opportunities), and matched one-on-one meeting access. Go-to-market is event- and community-led, with peer referrals and executive testimonials feeding a curated application-based membership funnel; the named member roster spans roughly 80% of Fortune 100 companies across technology, aerospace, automotive, energy, healthcare, retail, telecommunications, and other industries, while the named sponsor base includes AWS, Rippling, Sage, Abnormal Security, Arctic Wolf, Multiplier, and Ramsey Solutions.
