1. Our Standards

CEO Conclave runs on the 3Cs and 3Ms:

3Cs

• Confidentiality – What’s said in CEO Conclave stays in CEO Conclave. Always.

• Commitment – Show up, on time, and engaged. Respect the room.

• Candor – Be direct. No hidden agendas. Say what you mean, hear what’s said.

3Ms

• Mentor – Share your knowledge generously.

• Mentee – Stay coachable and open to feedback.

• Mirror – Hold others accountable and accept accountability yourself.

2. What’s Off Limits

To protect the integrity of CEO Conclave, here’s what you cannot do:

• No pitching without permission. Don’t use CEO Conclave to sell your services, raise money, hire, or promote causes unless explicitly invited.

• No unsolicited DMs. Don’t slide into a member’s inbox to pitch.

• No hijacking channels. Slack is for collaboration, not cold outreach. Use designated channels like #ask-and-offers if you want to share something.

• No backdoor selling. Don’t use CEO Conclave connections to chase deals on LinkedIn, Twitter, or email without consent.

3. What’s Encouraged

CEO Conclave is a give-first community. Do this instead:

• Offer help, insight, and resources without expecting a transaction.

• Share wins and lessons learned so others can benefit.

• Give feedback when asked, honestly and constructively.

• Use the right channels (#ask-and-offers, your city chapter, topic-specific spaces).

• Remember: if you share an ask, close the loop – let the community know how it turned out.

4. When Things Go Wrong

• Reporting: If you see a problem, let us know at support@ceoconclave.co.uk

• Accountability: CEO Conclave uses a simple three-step process:

  1. First time: Friendly nudge.

  2. Second time: Formal warning.

  3. Third time: Removal from the community.

We’re all here to raise the bar. By following this policy, you help keep CEO Conclave a place where founders make better decisions, faster, without noise, spam, or hidden agendas.
