What the Forum is

Partner Operators Forum is an invite-only peer operating group for B2B Partnership Operators, running across the financial year.

Members work through the operating problems of running a partnerships function at a post-product-market-fit SaaS or technology business, across two distinct formats held separately throughout the year: facilitated online working sessions, and in-person dinners. Sessions are shaped by the members in the room, with regular access to global expert speakers.

Who it’s for

Partner Operators Forum is built for senior B2B Partnership Operators at post-product-market-fit SaaS and technology businesses across APAC: people who own partnerships as a function, carry a number against it, and answer for it at board level. Membership is capped and invite-only, and each cohort stays deliberately small enough for direct, working-level discussion rather than passive listening.

This isn’t a lecture series. Sessions run as interactive working sessions where member participation is expected, not optional. If you’re looking to sit in and listen rather than bring a live problem to the table, this isn’t the right fit.

What makes it different

Confidentiality

Chatham House Rule

Everything discussed inside the Forum operates under Chatham House Rule: the substance travels, the attribution doesn’t.

Format

Peer advisory, not webinar

Sessions run as peer advisory, not webinar: you’re expected to bring a live problem and leave with something to test, not sit through a deck.

Access

Access to World Class Speakers

Our private forum facilitates regular global expert speakers, accessing insights, trends & best practices not available elsewhere.

Source

Grounded in this quarter

Benchmarks and frameworks are drawn from what operators in the room are actually running this quarter, not theory built for a keynote.

Ownership

Operator-led

Every session is operator-led: shaped and driven by the members in the room. Built by the members, for the members.
