I am joined this week by Russell Butler. Russell is the founder of iVentiv, based in Kenilworth. iVentiv offers learning and networking events for senior executives. Founded in 2008 as a response to what he saw as an inadequate ‘sit and listen’ conference format that didn’t allow people to truly learn and exchange ideas. Instead, iVentiv’s unique format does away with formal talks in favour of interactive sessions where every participant is a speaker, allowing event attendees to take away new ideas that they can apply to their business in an actionable way.

Starting as a one man band, the business now employs a full team and runs events attended by most of the world’s biggest companies. From its beginnings in Warwickshire, iVentiv has hosted events in 44 countries, for more than 1500 senior executives at 845 companies. Since the pandemic, the company has pivoted quickly and successfully into Virtual Events. iVentiv’s 200th event will take place at the start of 2022.

I really enjoyed learning more about Russell, and his story, and I hope you do too.
