Rethink Events

What Rethink Events does

Rethink Events Ltd operates a portfolio of leadership summits targeting senior executives, business leaders, and innovators in the agri-food, water, and sustainable materials sectors. The company was founded in 2011 by Jennie Moss and is headquartered in Brighton, United Kingdom, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of William Reed Ltd, a diversified UK business information conglomerate. The core product, "Rethink Summits," is positioned as a world-leading platform for knowledge-sharing, debate, and high-impact networking, with content shaped by a global network of senior-level industry advisors.

The underlying technology is an event summit platform complemented by a digital content delivery system: tickets are sold directly through the rethinkevents.com website with order confirmation via email, and digital products are accessible in a Download Area for 30 days after order acceptance. Beyond live summits, Rethink monetizes through recurring content subscriptions and one-time digital report downloads, providing non-event revenue exposure.

Revenue is generated through three streams: ticket sales for summits (subject to cancellation terms), recurring subscriptions for digital content, and one-time purchases of digital reports and downloads. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is available only at point of purchase. The GTM motion is event-driven, with summits functioning simultaneously as product, customer acquisition vehicle, and word-of-mouth channel. Distribution is global by intent, targeting enterprise buyers across the agri-food, water, and sustainable materials value chain, leveraging the William Reed parent's broader business information network.
