Private CEO Dinners

Curated dinners for CEOs and business owners who want to level up their network and thinking with other high-calibre operators

Unlock opportunities and capital. Accelerate timelines. Break through complex problems.

Rooms That Elevate

Events are normally so hit and miss and often fall well short of what is advertised. The CEO dinner was exactly as advertised. Likeminded people, genuinely looking to grow themselves, and grow their businesses. And no selling. I will 100% attend again.

—Tony Rudden, Parklands Capital

Access a powerful network of decision makers from 100+ leading companies

A curated room where operators accelerate progress and exchange perspectives

  • Invite-only dinners held in private dining rooms for growth-ambitious CEOs and business owners.

  • Each dinner creates measurable commercial upside.

  • Everyone is a decision maker - no sales people or service providers.

  • No pitches, no panels, and no forced agendas.

Built to accelerate timelines

Guests have:

  • Expanded beyond their existing circle into a higher-calibre peer group

  • Replaced founder isolation with a trusted circle of serious operators

  • Structured acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and new expansion initiatives

  • Gained clarity on complex decisions through operator-to-operator discussion

  • Unlocked growth through private, trusted introductions

  • Avoided costly mistakes by pressure-testing critical moves

The network is a goldmine. I’ve unlocked funding, met clients, and built a strong support network through these dinners.

Two formats. One Standard.

  • Business owners from different industries, but at a similar stage of growth.

    For example, founders who are scaling, looking to acquire, or preparing for expansion.

    You’re in a room with peers facing similar challenges - and often one or two operators slightly ahead of you.

  • Dinners focused on one industry.

    We bring together key players in that space - operators, developers, funders, suppliers, and partners — so conversations are directly relevant and commercially aligned.

It was a pleasure to spend an evening with like minded entrepreneurs and business leaders. Great conversation + Great food = Superb opportunities and relationships.
— Matt Turner MBE, Serial Entrepreneur

Hosted by Dillon Falvey

Dillon Falvey is an operator, investor, and advisor to growth-stage businesses, working hands-on with owners through SRG Strategy.

After years of building and advising companies, Dillon found most networking hollow and ineffective. Decision-makers don’t waste time in generic rooms - they want direct engagement with peers and people who actually help move things forward, with every conversation adding real value.

He created a private dinner format built around real operators, candid conversation, and commercial outcomes. What started small has grown organically into a trusted network of over 100 CEOs and business owners.

The objective is simple: accelerate timeframes, pressure-test decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and connect people to a high-calibre network of operators, investors, and advisors who get things done.

Straight talking. No nonsense. Real outcomes.

Private rooms in global business capitals

Each location is built around a curated network of operators, with further cities launching as the community grows.

So far, dinners have been hosted across:

  • London

  • Manchester

  • Miami

  • Tampa

  • Dublin

These dinners are for:

  • CEOs and business owners

  • Proven operators

  • Leaders who have outgrown their current peer group

  • People who want sharper perspective and better conversations

This is not for early-stage founders, salespeople, coaches, or anyone attending to pitch.

What Past Guests Have Gained

  • Access to people they would not normally meet

    “The room comprised of well reputed high flyers in a plethora of industries. It was refreshing to speak with the bright minds.”

    - Bolaji George, Gumball 3000

  • Clearer thinking on complex business decisions
    “I attend a good few events monthly but The CEO Dinner was a safe group of trusted voices who came together to share experiences, connections and fresh perspectives to existing challenges. It’s authentic and powerful.”

    - Scott Ashley, Blott

  • Introductions that lead to real opportunities
    “A group of business founders gathering together to share experiences and find out potential opportunities - I’ve benefitted from introductions already”

    - Stefano Fontolan, Mercuio Capital

  • Partnerships, deals, and growth opportunities
    “There are some struggles and realities that only founders can relate to. The dinner was a great place to discuss how we are handling these. I made some great connections at the dinner and most importantly, I walked away with some lessons I could immediately implement.”

    - Gabriel Makinwa, Coreloops
