Community Connection

All IX Communities hold a monthly online member meeting during which members are invited to raise topics they would like to discuss with their peers. Discuss topics may address responding to market changes, strategic decisions members are making, issues they're struggling with, or solutions they seek. Depending on the IX Community, member meetings are occasionally extended to discuss specific topics that require more in-depth conversation and/or external input.

We hold a combined IX Live in-room meeting for members twice yearly. In addition, ESIX offers in-room meetings in seven major U.S. cities, London and Singapore, and a frequent leaders-only online discussion.
