Afternoon Sessions

Members and Colleagues – Exclusive PM Session with Ryan Avery

Vistage members and their colleagues will have the opportunity to stay for an exclusive afternoon session with Ryan Avery. This is a two hour session which will explore some additional material that adds further value to the morning session. Working with Ryan, you will create an action plan on how you will implement what you have learned for both yourself and your teams.

It is highly recommended that all members and colleagues stay for the full day.

Guests of Vistage – ‘Experience Vistage Session’

Guests will find out a little more about Vistage and experience for themselves the real power of being part of a peer group and Vistage group meeting.

The complimentary session is exclusively for CEOs, MDs and business owners and this interactive session will be run by a Vistage group Chair. You will find out how joining a working group of CEOs, MDs and business owners will benefit you and your business.

The hallmark of a Vistage group is something we call ‘issue processing’ and is a structured, thorough and efficient approach to help successful executives think through the dynamics of a challenge or evaluate opportunities.
