The Millennium Alliance Celebrates A Decade Of Being The Leader In C-Suite Enterprise Events By Crossing The 100+ Employee Threshold

Posted on by Paige Russo

NEW YORK – February 16, 2024 – In just a few short weeks, The Millennium Alliance will proudly celebrate its 10th Anniversary. On the heels of an extremely successful year in 2023, Millennium is continuing to reach many new company milestones with each passing year. A few of the key milestones from this past year have included the addition of 8 new event brands to its portfolio of in-person programs, achieving record-breaking growth in the number of Fortune 100 executives that are hosted at each Assembly, increasing overall company revenue by over 60% from the previous highest number, and growing its internal team by over 30%, now boasting a headcount of 102 employees.

With no end in sight for its massive growth trajectory, Millennium is looking to continue building off this positive momentum throughout the remainder of 2024 with a plethora of additional milestones on the horizon. This includes opening the doors for its European Headquarters in London in March, publishing the 250th episode of the #MillenniumLive Podcast Series, and launching five new event brands, including three European programs to complement its versatile calendar of Two-Day Invite Only Assemblies.

“Each of our previous nine anniversaries has been special in its own way. But as our team prepares to celebrate a decade since Rob and I founded Millennium, I find myself blown away by what we’ve been able to accomplish as a company throughout the past ten years. It’s safe to say that we can attribute our strong reputation and the huge amount of success that we’ve achieved to having the most talented and innovative team in the business. I am appreciative of each member of the Millennium family, including our internal team, our members, our partners, and thought leaders who have supported us and helped to elevate our company to new heights over the past year. As we prepare to launch our European Headquarters next month, along with an exciting new portfolio of event brands, I can say with complete confidence that our organization has never been stronger, and we are locked in and striving to have this upcoming year be our most successful one to date.” Alex Sobol, Co-Founder, The Millennium Alliance
