In the midst of a rapidly-shifting culture of digital connections and virtual marketing, access to virtual “facetime” with your targets is as valuable to you as it is to the executives and leaders in the industry. Our ISE® Community has shared a strong desire to network with one another and engage in casual exchanges over topical industry subjects—even in the digital sphere. If your team is looking for ways to utilize the virtual playing field to reach your industry customers in a relaxed atmosphere through lasting industry conversations that benefit not only your team but also your potential targets, T.E.N. can help you. Further transform your digital outreach strategy through our ISE® Cocktails & Conversations.

Invite-Only, Exclusive Connections

T.E.N.’s ISE® Cocktails & Conversations provide an opportunity where your sales team engages in digital relationshipbuilding and meaningful conversations about the security issues that matter most to your targets—and bringing cocktails or other spirits is highly encouraged for participants to foster a fun, relaxed atmosphere no matter where each person is located. These are invitation-only occasions, where your team has the chance to tailor the audience to a very particular group of people—your top targets; a particular region in which your company needs more visibility; a specific industry where your team needs to develop a deeper relationship; and many more potential criteria.

We will help you select an ISE® VIP Host for your ISE® Cocktails & Conversations program that best suits your topic of choice by providing a list of viable Information Security Executives based on your company’s suggestions and a selection from our diverse network of professionals. This host will utilize your topic and discussion points to guide conversations and ensure you have an engaging, informative event that will leave a lasting, positive impression on your crowd of attendees. Up to two of your own team representatives will have the opportunity to engage in the discussion as well, bringing your brand to the forefront of the program in a tasteful and memorable way. Our CEO and President, Marci McCarthy, will also be in attendance to your ISE® Cocktails & Conversations program to act as an event co-host. She will personally welcome attendees at the top of the digital conversation and, along with a T.E.N. Team Member, will monitor Zoom to ensure audio, waiting rooms and video are in sync for optimal event participation.

T.E.N. will work with you every step of the way—from topic creation, to guest recruitment, to digital on-site program management and more—to help you in positioning yourself as an industry influencer and achieve the ultimate, ideal ISE® Cocktails & Conversations experience. This is a unique, valuable opportunity for executives to engage with one another and with your team in much-desired, face-to-face engagement using an online format. With the T.E.N. Team’s guidance, you will be fully equipped to develop and maintain vital, long-term connections with industry leaders across the nation that are within your customer pipeline.

ISE® Cocktails & Conversations will be conducted on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays and will always be held from 5:30-6:45 p.m. (time zone determined by target audience) via Zoom. Dates are available on a first come, first serve basis and may not last long. Speak with the T.E.N. Sales Team for an up-to-date list on availability for ISE® Cocktails & Conversations.
