A confidential circle of leaders.

A business network for senior executives, at home in Copenhagen.

Membership is by introduction.

Curated groups of peers

Academy brings together carefully selected executives in small, curated groups that meet through the year at the house on Dronningens Tværgade. Talks and sessions are shaped with our Board of Advisors, and every group closes the year with a 24-hour Power Session away from the everyday.

What is said in the room stays in the room. That trust is what makes honest conversations between leaders possible.

You exchange experience with leaders who face the same questions you do, and the relationships built here tend to last well beyond the room.

Academy represents a safe space where we can meet and reflect among peers. The selected circle builds relationships lasting beyond.

A house, not a conference centre

Home at The Conary

Academy lives at The Conary, a townhouse in the heart of Copenhagen that feels more like a home than a conference centre. Serious conversations happen over good coffee, long lunches and quiet corners.

Board of Advisors

Our agendas are shaped with a carefully selected Board of Advisors: corporate leaders, organisational psychologists, professors and experts in their field.
