NEW YORK – September 6, 2024 – As the New Year rapidly approaches, The Millennium Alliance has formalized its plans to add five powerful new event tracks to its growing portfolio of C-Suite Enterprise Assemblies in 2025 and beyond. These new additions directly reflect Millennium’s commitment to expanding its available offerings to members and customers and include:

  • Transformational B2B CMO Assembly: Taking place in February of 2025, this event is designed to address the unique pain points of today’s Global B2B Chief Marketing Officers.
  • Transformation CIO Financial Services Assembly: Taking place starting in Q1 of 2025, this event is designed specifically for Global Chief Information Officers in the Financial Services industry and will be co-located with Millennium’s flagship Digital Enterprise CIO Assembly.
  • Enterprise Sustainability & Transformation Assembly: Launching in April of 2025, this event will address the variety of fresh challenges that Chief Sustainability Officers and SVPs of ESG and Climate Change are facing.
  • Digital Customer Engagement Transformation Assembly: Debuting in May of 2025, this program is set to be a groundbreaking opportunity for Senior Vice Presidents of Omnichannel, E-commerce, and DTC to meet face-to-face and connect on the current trends & challenges the industry is facing.

A core value of ours has always been to never be satisfied with the level of success that we achieve as a team and to continue to innovate for the benefit of our amazing community. After launching four incredibly successful new brands in 2024, we wanted to build off that positive momentum by adding five additional brands that our leadership team feels strongly will be a staple of our growing portfolio of C-Suite events for years to come. I truly believe that nobody in our space does it better than Millennium, and am excited to showcase these great new brands when they debut next year.” – Alex Sobol, Co-Founder, The Millennium Alliance

With the addition of these new event brands, Millennium has set its sights on following up what’s been a massively successful 2024 so far, with an even bigger year in 2025 and beyond. Their strategic expansion is a result of the demand of its growing community of members and partners no longer only in North America, but across the globe.

NEW YORK – August 19, 2024 Inc. revealed today that The Millennium Alliance ranks No. 2,122 on the 2024 Inc. 5000, its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, Patagonia, and many other household-name brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

Alex Sobol, Co-Founder & Managing Partner of The Millennium Alliance had this to say about Millennium receiving this incredible honor. “It’s been a wonderful 10 ½ years helping to build Millennium. We were a very strong business right before the COVID pandemic broke out and have been absolutely on fire since the end of 2021 & beginning of 2022. Millennium now has operations on two continents with the expansion earlier this year into the EU market, which is all being spearheaded via our London headquarters. This year included additional milestones such as surpassing the 100-employee count earlier in the year, running over 70 of our flagship multi-day C-Suite Assemblies, contracting for close to 200 private bespoke events for some of our most favorite clients, and continuing to build out our digital properties, especially our growing podcast channel Millennium Live which is now approaching 10k subscribers. It has never been a more exciting time to be at The Millennium Alliance and we are pumped to make the prestigious Inc. 5000 once again.”

For complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, location, and other criteria, go to www.inc.com/inc5000. All 5000 companies are featured on Inc.com starting Tuesday, August 13, and the top 500 appear in the new issue of Inc. magazine, available on newsstands beginning Tuesday, August 20.

“One of the greatest joys of my job is going through the Inc. 5000 list,” says Mike Hofman, who recently joined Inc. as editor-in-chief. “To see all of the intriguing and surprising ways that companies are transforming sectors, from health care and AI to apparel and pet food, is fascinating for me as a journalist and storyteller. Congratulations to this year’s honorees, as well, for growing their businesses fast despite the economic disruption we all faced over the past three years, from supply chain woes to inflation to changes in the workforce.”

More ABOUT THE INC. 5000

Methodology

Companies on the 2024 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2020 to 2023. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2020. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2023. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2020 is $100,000; the minimum for 2023 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places.
