”I have attended the Pilko client roundtables over several years in Calgary, Houston and NYC. Every one of these meetings involved networking with senior experienced executives from a wide range of companies. At the end of the roundtable, the feelings of the participants were universally similar -stimulating conversation, in-depth analysis of issues facing the industry, multiple perspectives and new insights in tackling difficult challenges. Well worth my time.“
