The CMO Club –November 6th & 7th, 2008

The City Club had the honor of hosting another group of diverse and intellectual guests late last week. The CMO Club headed by Peter Kranik, chose the City Club for their Peer to Peer Summit on November 6th and 7th.

The CMO Club focuses on exclusive peer to peer interactions of Chief Marketing Officers . They host dinners, online network and conferences to cultivate the “non-selling,” give and take form of information sharing.

It was a pleasure having the group with us at the City Club as well as working with Kaitlyn Mello of Garnish Events, a true professional with the discipline and focus on details that it takes to produce a truly flawless event.



The CMO Club started the morning on Thursday with a Networking Breakfast o followed by presentations and a panel discussion. Then they took advantage of the whole Club by breaking off into discussion groups in the Main Dining Room and Bechtel Room. The day continued with Lunch and wrapped up with a networking reception and a Celebration Dinner in the Café prepared by our Executive Chef Michael Munoz. The group returned on Friday, for more networking and idea sharing and ended early to give their guests an opportunity to enjoy the City.

Founder of the club, Pete Krainik noted, "we loved The City Club and it not only set the right tone for the sessions, the support from Club personal was excellent. Based on the postive feedback we will look to host another CMO Summit here".

Thank you for choosing us!

Entrepreneurs at the City Club: Endeavor 10.15.08

“Can we have some music on,” my Endeavor contact politely requested. Actually, it was already on. There was such a buzz of chatter throughout the room, the sound had been drowned out. It isn’t hard to imagine that 140 international entrepreneurs would have so much to talk about. On Wednesday, October 15th, the City Club had the honor of hosting an all day meeting an evening reception for a International organization named Endeavor. Endeavor is an organization aimed at going into developing countries, searching out high-potential entrepreneurs and providing tools to pull them up into success. Thus creating role models with in turn inspires entire communities to move forward and create stable economic growth.

The City Club was just 1 stop on the tour of the Bay Area, for this international group of guests, who also visited Facebook and Google! The meeting portion of the day at the City Club included Breakfast, wonderful and insightful guest speakers from T.P.G Capital, Joie de Vivre and Salesforce, and Lunch in the Main Dining Room. Then everyone was invited downstairs to the Café where the organizers let them loose for plenty of idea sharing, networking, tastey bites and drinks.
