2 AM Club: Join CIOs and CISOs as a Club Enabler
Collaborate to discover how tech buyers reach purchasing decisions
Exclusively for our Community, the 2 AM Club gives technology brands access to the candid conversations that reveal what CIOs, CISOs and their teams are genuinely thinking, as well as their actual needs.
As an enabler, you can fund and participate in podcasts, peer panels, webinars, executive roundtables, research and editorial programmes. You will hear first-hand how priorities are changing, where current approaches are falling short and what technology leaders need next.
These are not opportunities to deliver a sales pitch. Enablers contribute expertise, listen openly and take part in a valuable two-way exchange. Technology leaders benefit from informed discussion, while sponsors gain insight that can shape product strategy, positioning, content and future customer engagement.
Your support makes better conversations possible and places your brand inside them.
Ways to participate
Enabler partnerships can include a tailored combination of:
- Podcasts and leadership interviews
- Community and event sponsorship
- Executive roundtables and private dinners
- Sponsored research and benchmark studies
- Member advisory boards and product councils
- Editorial contributions and expert commentary
- Opt-in briefings and educational sessions
- Paid member consultation and research panels
- Brand visibility across Club communications
- Bespoke campaigns built around relevant business issues
Every programme is designed around your needs, a suitable member audience and a transparent reason for participation.
Our 2 AM Club Guidelines
Building long-term relationships and protecting member trust is a condition of every Enabler partnership.
- No sales pitches in peer-to-peer sessions.
- No unsolicited access to member information.
- No aggressive or automated follow-up.
- No disguising promotional content as independent advice.
- No assumption that sponsorship creates entitlement to an onward meeting.
- Chatham House Rule applies wherever stated.
- Members choose whether to participate in sponsored or paid activity.
- Commercial involvement is clearly disclosed.
These guidelines do not prevent commercial relationships, in fact, we encourage it as they create the foundations on which commercial relationships can develop.

About the 2AM Club
The 2AM Club was founded by Stuart Seymour to bridge with a two-fold mission: To grow and develop the community to support talent in making the next step, and to bridge the gap between what's really bothering s CIOs and CISOs at night with what technology vendors think they need.
By aligning the mismatch, it creates the opportunity for greater understanding on both sides; it brings peers and providers closer to the outcome everyone wants: better decisions, stronger security and trusted relationships.
