Chief Wine Officer

Chief Wine Officer Unique events for inspiring and entertaining business leaders

OUR STORY
The first Chief Wine Officer evening was in September 2005 in London – attended by senior executives from the major financial services firms. We now organise over 50 events per year across over a dozen cities and many different industries – with a range of formats to suit all business development & networking requirements. The company is part of the Chief Nation group, and is staffed by

consultants and event professionals who understand the principles on which the company was founded: connecting business and relationship building, with the pleasure of fine wine. Sponsored and co-hosted by clients ranging from multi-national corporates to niche organisations, Chief Wine Officer events have informed and entertained more than 5,000 senior decision-makers from many of the UK, Europe and US’s largest companies.

🔒 Cyber leaders: What is the current state of play?

In the last few months, stories about AI-powered hackers or AI-enabled vulnerabilities have been front and centre in the tech news world. From hype and fear around Mythos, to Meta accounts being compromised via chatbot, danger wears more faces than ever before.

How are we adapting? And what next steps are you looking for across the AI landscape to curb this ever-increasing risk?
