IS THIS FOR ME?
You plan events for a living.
You're sourcing destinations, agencies, technology, and venues constantly. Most of what lands in your inbox is noise. You don't even open LinkedIn anymore because 95% of the DMs are someone trying to sell you something you just don't need.
You don't have time to vet every option, sit through every demo, or research what's actually worth considering before an RFP goes out. So you work with who you know.
Which means you might be missing out on something better.
The Ichi Buyers Club exists to replace the spam with something worth your time.
All signal. No noise.
Experiences are hosted and sponsored. Every host goes through our vetting process. You're there because you're a qualified buyer who actually wants to explore what they offer. They're there because they wanted to be in front of someone exactly like you who actually wants to meet them. It works because both sides are real and conversations, connections, and experiences will help you make your events better.
Exclusive invitations
Facilitated virtual roundtables with trend reports to keep you up to date. Hosted fam trip opportunities, curated dinners, and behind-the-scenes access. If it's in your inbox, it passed our filter.
Vetted both ways
Every host is screened. Every guest is a qualified buyer who actually wants to explore what's offered. No hard pitches from the sponsors. Just information, conversation, inspiration, and connection.
Peers worth knowing
Small groups of buyers sourcing the same things you are at companies that look a lot like yours.
Same problems, different logo, we like to say.
No ethical boundaries crossed
Experiences that pass your corporate sniff test: You're not being hosted by a vendor; you're being hosted by Club Ichi, an independent organization, and you have no obligation to the sponsor.
Insider vs. Buyer's Club:
What's the difference?
Club Ichi is a membership community, and Insider membership is the paid membership that gets you inside the community.
Buyer's Club is an annual program that qualified Insiders can join for curated invitations to hosted experiences led by partners you're actually considering as potential suppliers. Club Ichi gets you access to program these suppliers are running with Behind the Brands (behind the scenes) tours, Supper Clubs to meet and build relationships, trend reports to understand the depth of their strategic thinking, and fam trips to experience destinations and properties you'd actually use.
As a Club Ichi Insider, these experiences are sometimes open to the general membership, but we know you're busy, and we know there's a lot of noise in the Slack channel. Being a Buyer's Club program participant guarantees you the direct invitations you care about the most, with the suppliers you'd actually do business with.
