EMPOWERING CORPORATE EVENT LEADERS TO CONNECT, LEARN AND THRIVE

As proud supporters of the International Corporate Events Network, we’re committed to empowering in-house corporate event creators through practical learning, meaningful peer connections, and open conversations that focus on what genuinely works.

DISCOVER XTRA RALEIGH 

XTRA Raleigh is a mini version of the International Corporate Events Network Conference, created for in-house event and marketing teams who want maximum value in a short format.

Across a keynote and a series of small-group campfire sessions, corporate event creators explore topics shaping the future of events. From AI and data to stakeholder management, culture, and experience design. The atmosphere is informal, open, and interactive, with plenty of time to ask questions and learn from peers facing the same challenges.

Attendance is free for in-house corporate event and marketing teams.

WHY ATTEND XTRA? 

XTRA Raleigh is designed for corporate event creators who want to:

• Gain practical, real-world insight on the issues they’re dealing with right now

• Learn how emerging tools like AI can drive efficiency, creativity, and business impact

• Benchmark their programmes against other leading brands

• Build a trusted network of peers they can turn to for ideas, inspiration, and support

You won’t sit through a day of one-way presentations. Instead, you’ll be part of an honest, working conversation about how to deliver better events with the resources you have.

CAMPFIRES & CONVERSATION 

At the heart of XTRA are the campfire sessions which are small, informal group discussions hosted by corporate event creators and industry partners. Each session is short and focused, with delegates rotating between topics based on their interests and current challenges.

This format keeps things dynamic and relevant, with real stories, practical ideas and insight drawn from everyday experience.

WHO IS XTRA RALEIGH FOR?

XTRA Raleigh is for in-house corporate event and marketing professionals who:

• Plan and deliver internal or external events as part of their role

• Looking to understand how other organisations are tackling similar challenges

• Curious about new formats, technologies, and approaches

• Value peer-to-peer learning and open, collaborative discussion

Whether you’re leading a global events strategy or running regional programmes, XTRA gives you a space to step back, reflect, and re-energise.

STAY CONNECTED WITH THE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATE EVENTS NETWORK COMMUNITY 

XTRA Raleigh sits within the wider International Corporate Events Network ecosystem, alongside the Awards and Conference and a programme of year-round activity, including Leadership Suppers and other curated gatherings. Together, they provide an ongoing platform for in-house event creators to share knowledge, celebrate success, and shape the future of corporate events.

By taking part in XTRA Raleigh, you’re not just attending an event, you’re joining a community of peers who believe in the power of events to drive business impact and cultural change.
