I host the people your brand needs to hear from.

I design in-person executive conversations in Bogotá: small tables, curated guests, zero pitch, and an experience cared for from start to finish.

You don't need another business-card-and-logo event

Companies don't need another event full of quick handshakes. They need conversations where the right decision-makers can think out loud, without commercial pressure, with a clear reason to trust the room.

Trust is designed, not declared

For the
guest

Carefully selected guests. Pitch-free conversations. A table designed so everyone has a real reason to be there.

For the hosting
brand

The sponsor is not buying a stage to sell from. They are buying the opportunity to hold a conversation their market actually wants to have.

Experiences with their own name and promise

Each format has a distinct size, intent, and outcome. None is a generic event.

How it works

I define the topic, guest profile, and strategic intent. Then I curate the table, design the experience, and protect the tone so the hosting brand can be present and build trust.

  • 7 clear steps
  • Lists you approve
  • Live moderation
  1. Strategy

    We define the topic, guest profile, and the brand's strategic intent together.

    Shared clarity before inviting anyone.

  2. Guest profile

    We agree on the ideal decision-maker: role, sector, complementarity.

    Only decision-makers who fit the topic.

  3. Invitations

    I design careful outreach, application-only when appropriate.

    Outreach that filters and elevates the tone.

  4. Venue and experience

    I select a private space in Bogotá and care for table details that communicate intent.

    A space that communicates intent from the table up.

  5. Facilitation

    I moderate live, include quieter voices, and protect tone so the brand is present and achieves its purpose.

    The brand present, without monopolizing the conversation.

  6. Relational follow-up

    Value does not end when dinner ends. I support follow-up so the relationship is sustained.

    The relationship continues after the event.

Two audiences, one standard of care

Company or sponsor

  • Access to the right people, not volume
  • Brand authority without sounding like a seller
  • Premium format that doesn't feel like a webinar or generic cocktail
  • A host who reads the room and protects quality

Executive guest

  • Interesting conversation with peers at their level
  • Zero commercial pressure
  • Good judgment in table selection
  • A private place and a clear reason to attend

Tables where every guest has a reason to be there

My philosophy, made tangible. Everything I believe about authentic connection takes shape here.

6 carefully chosen people. No pitches. Only genuine conversations among people who bring something valuable to the community.

When the right people sit together for 2 hours, something happens that elsewhere takes months. Trust emerges naturally when everyone brings something real.

Authentic connections that outlast the evening.

I expected another dinner and ended up amazed — I couldn't measure all the incredible value the people I met that night brought.

I wanted to tell you that since the dinner, besides staying in touch with the profiles who attended 😃 we matched with one of the members for a commercial alliance that combines our skills — it was exactly what he needed for his project, and I'm very grateful you connected us 🤗

Why me

Ignacio Salcedo, executive B2B host in Bogotá

As host, I don't delegate the most delicate part of the event: reading the room, curating profiles, and protecting conversation quality.

I combine 16 years in software, leadership in international fintech (Zoe Financial in New York and PayJoy in San Francisco), community building, and in-person facilitation. My presence is not decorative — it is part of the product.

In B2B, relationships matter because reputation is on the line. I don't design events to entertain — I create the conditions for trust to begin.

Objections resolved before the first call

Is this a sales event?

No. The hosting brand proposes the topic and participates in the conversation, but the format is not designed as a pitch. Trust is protected because the guest must feel their time was respected.

Who invites the guests?

Ignacio defines the ideal profile with the company and then curates the list by relevance, complementarity, and conversation quality.

What is the ideal size?

It depends on the goal: a private dinner runs 6 to 8 guests (the magic number), a roundtable 8 to 14, and a masterclass can grow if curation and conversation are preserved.

What does Ignacio do personally?

Topic strategy, profile curation, experience design, and live facilitation. His presence is part of the product, not decoration.

What happens after the event?

There is relational follow-up. The goal is not attendance — it is the trust the room makes possible.

What types of companies fit?

B2B tech, fintech, SaaS, professional services, venture, legal, compliance, HR, product, and engineering companies that want to speak with specific decision-makers in Bogotá.

Do you do virtual events?

Not as a core product. The offer is in-person in Bogotá — and that is the advantage.
