SHELTON, Conn. —. Clarion Events’ new partnership with Consero Group, which creates invitation-only programs through intimate in-person and virtual events and boardroom-style roundtables for senior executives, reinforces the company’s focus on connecting buyers and sellers through meaningful meetings. This move follows last year’s partnership with Quartz Events, a provider of one-on-one meetings.
Based in Maryland, Consero was founded in 2010 and serves clients in the legal, customer experience, human resources , procurement and technology industries. It is known for its sophisticated programs and strong education, geared toward a senior executive audience.
