For technology vendors

Your customers' executives are working out right now how far to take agentic AI over the next 12 months. The decisions in front of them are not primarily technology decisions: which operations they are willing to reorganize, how far to take each one, who owns the outcome when they do, and how they will know when the decision they made has gone stale.

We work those decisions live, at your event or in a session you give one of your accounts. Your guests make a decision about an outcome they own and find out where their peers landed on the same question. You get customers who have decided something, which is a different asset from customers who have watched something.

What you can put in front of your customers

A keynote, 45 to 60 minutes: the argument, adapted to your audience's industry.

A closed-door executive session, 90 minutes: 10 to 30 of your customers' executives, from different companies, each working an outcome they own through a first read and a first decision.

Both, at the same event. The keynote opens it and the session works it.

A private session for one strategic account. Decide, Commit or Mobilize, hosted for that account's executives or given to them: the same session a company buys directly, described under Work with us.

A sponsored private session carries the same promise as any other. We invoice you only after the session, when your customer receives the recap of its decisions, and if within ten days your customer tells us it's not satisfied, there is no fee. Your customer decides, not you, and its decisions are its own: you hear whether it was satisfied, and you see the decisions only if your customer shares them. Travel is reimbursed at cost either way, and a session cancelled late carries a cancellation fee.

Fees are set in a conversation with Blaine Mathieu, our founder.

Why an independent guide. The River Group has no AI platform to recommend and no implementation to sell. That is what lets your customers' executives talk openly in front of their peers, and it is why they leave having decided something.

What your sponsorship gets you. Your name on the session, your venue, your guest list, and an audience of your customers working on a real decision rather than watching a presentation. The content is ours, and the conclusions belong to the executives who reach them. We say who sponsored the session at the top, every time, because that is what makes the independence believable to the people in the seats.

The work that follows is open. Whoever helps a customer build what they decided takes it as their own business, with nothing owed back and nothing to negotiate, and after a private session that work starts from the customer's operating model decisions for the outcomes its executives worked.

Who to invite. Director and above, business side, personally owning an outcome with a number on it, in an operation where the volume is high and the steps repeat. Operations, customer service and care, claims, underwriting, servicing, shared services, revenue cycle, supply chain, marketing and revenue operations, product operations, divisional general managers. That profile is a recommendation and not a condition. Your event, your guest list, your account.
