Why Roundtables work.
Roundtables are more than just visibility plays. They're your opportunity to create trusted conversations with decision-makers across Europe’s financial ecosystem, from banks and regulators to FinTech innovators.
Whether you’re launching into a new market or building long-term credibility, a roundtable helps you lead the dialogue, not chase it.

Roundtable FAQ.
1. What is a Connector. Roundtable? Roundtables at The Connector. are not networking events; they are intentional conversations shaped for impact. You don’t just show your brand — you shape dialogue with decision‑makers, innovators, and ecosystem builders. Each roundtable is curated, strategic, and deeply human.
2. Who should consider hosting a roundtable? This is ideal for fintech scale‑ups, B2B SaaS companies serving financial institutions, regulators, or anyone launching into a European market. If you want to build credibility, shape the narrative in your space, or influence RFP or procurement cycles — this is made for you.
3. Why do roundtables work better than traditional events? Focused impact: Meet 10–12 senior-level professionals in an intimate setting, not hundreds of disengaged attendees. Thought leadership in action: You lead the discussion rather than chasing conversations. Trust first: In a room designed for peer-level engagement, relationships evolve naturally.
4. What makes you the best partner? We’re not event planners, we are trusted accelerator partners armed with: A proven track record working with banks, regulators, and scale-ups A network of 65+ financial institutions across Europe Full on-brand representation and authenticity Tailored planning for your geography, sector, and growth goals
5. What’s your process like? Our signature Roundtable process includes: Branded materials & invitations aligned to your identity Audience targeting strategies to reach senior titles in specific regions Agenda design built with your themes, speakers, and discussion flow Multi-channel campaigns including email, LinkedIn outreach, and outreach follow-ups Curation of intimate attendance groups (10–12 participants max) On-site moderation to manage introductions, flow, and energy Post-event follow-up booklets compliant with Chatham House rules to reinforce your message
6. What’s the value you deliver? A Connector. roundtable creates more than just a moment of connection, it builds momentum. You walk away not only with meaningful introductions to decision-makers but also with elevated positioning as a thought leader in your space. It’s a space where your message resonates in a curated, trusted environment. Many of our partners use the roundtable to influence upcoming RFPs, unlock market insights, and generate qualified interest in their solution — all while strengthening brand awareness in a way that’s difficult to replicate through traditional sales or marketing alone.
7. How is success measured? We don’t measure success in headcounts. Instead, we look at the strategic relevance of the people in the room, the depth of the conversations, and the follow-up opportunities they unlock. When the right people lean in, ask questions, and want to continue the conversation, you know you’ve made an impression. We help you translate that engagement into real traction — whether it’s in the form of next-step meetings, pipeline growth, or elevated brand recognition among your most important audiences.
8. Can this lead into other Connector. programs? Absolutely. In many cases, a roundtable is the first chapter of a longer collaboration. The insights and energy generated in the session often lead to deeper engagements through our EventScaler or HyperScaler programs. Some partners turn the roundtable into a springboard for content — a whitepaper, podcast, or thought leadership article — while others use it to sharpen their go-to-market strategy and accelerate deal conversations. We’ll help you decide what comes next based on where you want to go.
9. What’s the first step? If a curated conversation with carefully selected CFOs, innovation leads, regulators, or fintech buyers sounds right — let’s hop on a quick call. We’ll align on topics, region, or audience fit and design a proposal tailored to your narrative and goals.
