Virtual Roundtables

What Virtual Roundtables does

Virtual Roundtables is a B2B virtual event platform operated by Inspired Business Media Ltd, a UK-based private limited company headquartered in Newport with 11–50 employees. The platform enables enterprises and technology vendors to sponsor curated, 100-minute virtual roundtable discussions with pre-qualified senior decision-makers (C-suite, VP, Director-level) across functions including CIO, CISO, CMO, and the recently added CAIO (Chief AI Officer) tracks. Sessions combine a moderated peer discussion, structured 1-on-1 networking, and post-event reporting, with attendee targeting customizable by job title, geography, industry, and company size.

The product is one of four event formats in the Inspired Business Media portfolio alongside Summits, Roundtable Dinners, and the Inspired Xchange, all anchored to the proprietary Inspired Executive Network community platform. Sponsorship packages are tiered (VRT 2 through VRT 12) and priced per roundtable table, scaling from £24,000 to £108,000 in EU/GBP and $32,000 to $143,000 in US/USD, with volume discounts for larger commitments and multi-year contracts. Sponsors receive 10–60 qualified executive meetings per event along with thought leadership positioning, brand visibility, and measurable ROI through post-event reports.

The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales of these sponsorship packages to B2B technology vendors seeking senior-level engagement, with technology and cybersecurity firms (Ping, ServiceNow, Palo Alto Networks, Workday, WPP, NCC Group, OX Security, Fortra, Huntress Labs) forming the primary customer base. The delegate side draws senior executives from enterprises across financial services (Barclays, HSBC, FIS Global), insurance (BRIT, The AA), transportation (Arriva UK Trains), retail (Boots Ireland), and housing (L&Q), providing a recurring audience that sponsor brands pay to access.
