NEW YORK – May 6, 2021 – Coming off of the strongest Q1 in its seven-year existence, The Millennium Alliance has continued to build off of what has quickly become a record-breaking 2021 across the board thus far, now fresh off of their most successful April in company history. This comes in large part due to their aggressive investment in talent acquisition by obsessing over bringing onboard and developing top talent company-wide. “The talent and resilience of the people at Millennium have allowed us to grow in every sense of the word. Our momentum is attracting great people and we’re thrilled to bring in so many new outstanding individuals. These new hires are essential in contributing to our continued success.” – Victoria Rowland, Vice President, Human Resources, The Millennium Alliance

With many organizations continuing to scale down their team headcounts, Millennium has doubled down on their vision of consistent growth, hiring 17 new employees since January alone. This commitment to recruitment has helped to catapult them into a prime position to strategically serve their members and partners as the demand for their unique digital portfolio continues to increase. This includes its Educate & Engage Virtual Platform, Two-Day Virtual Assemblies, The Digital Diary Content Platform, the #MillenniumLive Podcast Series, as well as industry-leading Executive Education Opportunities. Between the company’s expansion of its team, along with its diverse portfolio of offerings, Millennium has experienced more than a 25% growth in overall revenue from its previous highest first quarter since their inception in 2014.

“Record-breaking growth is always exciting. What has made Q1 and the start of Q2 so special is the catalyst of this growth has been a combination of increased spend from current clients and new clients being introduced to us via word of mouth. After a year of uncertainty, it feels good to provide a sense of certainty to our clients in terms of the value we are providing. I am very much looking forward to what the rest of 2021 has in store for Millennium.” – Salvatore Papa, SVP & Managing Director, The Millennium Alliance

Having already laid such a solid foundation for this year, one thing that’s for certain is that Millennium is planning to continue to propel itself to new heights by overdelivering to its members and setting some new records along the way.

NEW YORK – April 9, 2021 – The Millennium Alliance has just announced that it has started allowing customers and vendors to use their cryptocurrency holdings as a form of payment for future transactions. With Bitcoin nearly doubling in value since the start of this year, it was important to Millennium to embrace the digital currency to accommodate its customers as much as possible. Bitcoin has established itself as one of the most accessible and versatile forms of virtual currency while also becoming the most popular and widely used.

“Bitcoin is no longer a guessing game as to whether or not it is a viable and an in demand financial product that individual consumers and businesses of all sizes want to acquire. As more businesses and long-standing Millennium Alliance clients add substantial amounts of Bitcoin to their balance sheets, in addition to other standard forms of payment, we wanted to add this as a payment option as adoption and acceptance of Bitcoin becomes more mainstream.” Alex Sobol, Co-Founder, The Millennium Alliance

Millennium is the latest company to place itself at the forefront of the growing Bitcoin craze, with others including Visa, PayPal, Tesla, Starbucks and The Home Depot. It’s become clear that cryptocurrencies are here to stay and thus enabling crypto payments now, will allow Millennium to stay ahead of the curve.

NEW YORK – March 18 2021 – This month, The Millennium Alliance celebrates its 7th Anniversary. It has been the most challenging twelve months to date, but with great challenge also comes great opportunity. Since its founding in 2014, The Millennium Alliance has always been committed to guiding their members through good times and tough ones as well, which is why Millennium was eager to push through the disruption that rocked almost every industry just one year ago. 

For our events business, the cancelling of in-person assemblies left Millennium with the question of how to create new ways to maintain a sense of community among its members and technology partners when frictionless communication was more important than ever. This led The Millennium Alliance to successfully mimic its two day in-person assembly model with the launch of a portfolio of virtual offerings, including its Educate & Engage Virtual Platform, as well as Two-Day Virtual Assemblies. These new offerings have perfectly complimented Millennium’s existing digital portfolio, including The Digital Diary Content Platform, the rapidly growing #MillenniumLive Podcast Series, as well as industry-leading Executive Education Opportunities. These Virtual Assemblies started off as a quick solution in response to unforeseen circumstances, but have quickly evolved into an innovative way to expand Millennium’s network, form new partnerships, and reach C-Suite executives from all across the country from the convenience of their home office.  

“As we celebrate our Anniversary, it’s truly rewarding to look back on just how much we as a company have accomplished since Rob and I founded Millennium seven years ago. In what was a tough year for not just our industry, but for the entire country, I am incredibly appreciative for each person on our 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. The best is yet to come and I am fully expecting our 7th year to be Millennium’s most successful one yet.” Alex Sobol, Co-Founder, The Millennium Alliances
