What Customer Say
Real success in the world

Talent empower their networking and fuel their product awareness through a bespoke long-term approach which ensures that they have meaningful conversations with their customers and prospects.
“You just know when you’ve picked the right event partner! Talend has been involved in Sit-down Events for the past 2 years – we started with a one-off and quickly expanded to multiple bookings across ANZ and Singapore. When our Canadian and European teams contacted me about the CDO Live events everyone is talking about’ I knew these high-performing programs had become a great success for Talend. From the professionalism of the team, to the quality of conversations they have facilitated for us, I highly recommend working with Sit-Down.”
Nadine Lefleur | Marketing Director, Talend
Dataiku join forces with Sit-Down to fuel their growth and market penetration with a strategic approach to lead generation at Sit-Down Hybrid Series. Over the past 2 years Dataiku have achieved tangible results at the series that show the thriving period the tech leader has had.
“As a conscious decision we change suppliers periodically, and don’t work with one partner for a long period as we need to tap into other audiences and continuously get access to new platforms, events and prospects. But across all our event partners globally, Sit-Down is the only company that Dataiku has year long commitments and keeps working with every month. Sit-Down was also the strongest source of opportunity for us in 2021. I don’t know you do it, but we like it, keep your secrets and keep it coming!”
Frederic Catherine | Head of Marketing, Dataiku
Fonterra’s leaders have benefited from Sit-Down on a regular basis by utilising products ranging from ongoing case studies and use cases to events, executive programs and podcasts that have enabled their growth on a personal and organisational level.
“I’ve attended and spoken at different editions of the CDO Series, and I have to say the attention and engagement you receive even when the forums were virtual, was something that stood out for myself personally. The organisation that I work for is involved with Sit-Down in other ways such as advisory that has only received good feedbacks too.
