Conversations That Move Marketing Forward
Invite-only circles, private dinners, and offsites for CMOs.
Marketing Leaders Engaged
What Makes Us Different
Smaller by Design
Small circles create space — space to think, to challenge, to reflect.
By keeping our gatherings intentionally compact, we enable deeper dialogue
and insights that can’t emerge in larger, performative settings.
Depth Over Performance
Most gatherings celebrate polished success stories.
We focus on the conversations that never make it to a keynote — the failures, the tradeoffs, the experiments, and the lessons learned the hard way.
Raw, honest discussions that actually move marketing forward.
Community, Not an Event
- Why We Exist
What This Assembly Makes Possible
After years of curating marketing conferences and leadership forums, one thing became clear — CMOs weren’t looking for another stage.
They wanted a space for honest, private, peer-level conversations — without the noise of panels or pitches.
The CMO Assembly was created for that purpose — smaller, deeper, and more actionable.
A place where leaders talk about what’s really shaping marketing today — and what’s next.
- For CMOs
Not a Membership.
A Circle
A space where you can exchange what’s working, what’s failing, and what’s changing — with peers who’ve been there.
No stages. No panels. No titles.
Just meaningful peer-to-peer conversations around shared priorities — brand growth, customer experience, and marketing leadership.
You’ll find:
– Curated closed-door assemblies and offsites.
– Themes that cut across industries.
– Connections that continue beyond the room.
- For Partners
No Booths.
No Sponsorship noise.
Instead, outcome-led dialogues where CMOs and partners explore real challenges — together.
We work with a select set of partners who value insight and connection over airtime.
What you’ll gain:
– Access to India’s most active marketing leaders
– Co-created conversation formats around your key themes
– Strategic alignment with The CMO Assembly’s curated programs

Meet the Founder
Vivek Sheth
Vivek Sheth has spent more than a decade building platforms and experiences for India’s marketing leadership community. Through his work at IAMAI, ET BrandEquity, and MMA India, he has collaborated closely with CMOs, senior marketers, and industry partners across categories, shaping conversations that influence how the ecosystem learns, connects, and moves forward.
Across these years and hundreds of leadership interactions, he noticed a gap: senior marketers needed a more intentional, high-trust space for meaningful dialogue — something deeper than conferences, lighter than committees, and more candid than public forums.
The CMO Assembly is his effort to create that space.
The idea is to curate roundtables (assemblies), learning formats, and executive engagements that bring real value to both marketing leaders and ecosystem partners. His approach is simple: thoughtful curation, honest conversations, and experiences designed with respect for leaders’ time.
With The CMO Assembly (and its parent, The Executive Assembly), he aims to build a long-term, trusted environment where India’s leadership community — and the partners who enable them — can connect, learn, and grow together!
