Direct peers

• ATD (Association for Talent Development): The largest professional association for talent development practitioners worldwide, running the annual ATD International Conference & Exhibition and serving the same corporate L&D and talent leader audience as iVentiv. Directly comparable in targeting senior L&D buyers at multinationals.
• CLO Symposium: Invitation-only summit series for Chief Learning Officers and senior enterprise learning leaders, run in partnership with the Learning Guild. Closest comparable format-wise to iVentiv's Executive Knowledge Exchanges - same buyer, same intimate senior-executive focus.
• Chief Learning Officer (MediaTec / HCM Media): Media brand, magazine and events portfolio targeting CLOs and senior learning executives. Targets the same buyer persona as iVentiv and runs events, awards and content programs that overlap with iVentiv's L&D executive community.
• Brandon Hall Group: Research and analyst firm running the HCM Excellence Awards and webinars for HR, L&D and talent leaders. Operates in the same executive L&D community with comparable sponsorship- and research-driven revenue models.
• Training Industry: Research, events and content business covering the corporate training and L&D vendor ecosystem. Comparable audience of senior learning buyers and similar sponsorship-and-research monetization approach.
• Executive Networks: Operates invitation-only peer communities and executive roundtables for senior HR, talent and L&D leaders at Fortune 1000 companies. Highly comparable business model - intimate, member-driven forums for senior functional executives.

Broad incumbents

• The Conference Board: Long-established member-driven business research and events organization hosting executive conferences across HR, L&D and talent management. Wider portfolio than iVentiv but serves the same Fortune 500 executive audience.
