Presidents Institute has been a game-changer for me. The peer groups are incredibly well-matched, and every meeting gives me concrete insights I can implement immediately. The mix of inspiration, real-world experience sharing, and accountability is something I’ve never found anywhere else. If you’re a leader who wants to grow faster and make better decisions, I can highly recommend PI.
Went to a great breakfast seminar in Stockholm. Very well structured and interesting!
Honestly, I was a bit skeptical, but already after the first meeting I am looking forward to the next one. It was a good mix of competent people, excellent meeting leaders, and interesting topics that were discussed. This platform for personal development through lectures, especially with good discussions and a lot of knowledge within the group, makes this a long-term investment.

Thank you for this fantastic review! We’re very happy to hear that your initial skepticism has turned into excitement for what’s ahead. It means a lot to us that you find the mix of people, leadership, and topics valuable — and that the network already feels like a strong long-term investment in your development.
We look forward to seeing you at the upcoming meetings!
Warm regards,

I have been a member of one of the Presidents Institute's networking groups. The experiences have been nothing but positive. Each meeting has offered interesting topics, good conversations, and a boost of energy and inspiration.

Johan Magnusson, professor at Gothenburg University is always inspirational. He gave his view on why big IT-initiatives, like Millenium (the big VGR initative that has now been stopped) as an example, have a tendency to fail badly.

Hej Johan,
Tack för din återkoppling! Vi är glada att höra att du uppskattade eventet och fann Johan Magnussons perspektiv både inspirerande och insiktsfullt.
Vänliga hälsningar,

President's Institute had the right commitment and the PI people were enthusiastic. I liked Johan Landgren's personal approach in the individual talk I had with him to understand what you really searched for professionally.

Was invited to a group and heard nothing until the day before the meeting. I complained and wanted to cancel my engagement as i found it very unprofessional - the response was that i was committed for a full year (without ever having used their offering).

Hi,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear that your introduction to the group didn’t meet expectations — that’s not the level of communication we aim to deliver.
Regarding the membership period, all memberships run on an annual basis, which is stated in the welcome material and in the terms shared at the start. We understand that this can be frustrating if the communication around your first meeting did not work as intended, and we’ve since improved how we inform new members to avoid similar situations.
If you would like us to review your case again or clarify anything further, you’re very welcome to contact us directly at info@presidents.eu
or +45 3333 8888. We’re happy to help.
Kind regards,
Presidents Institute
I recommend President Institute for creating a mentally safe and inspiring environment to openly discuss leadership challenges within the network group, while their conferences and summits have been food for reflection and new ideas.

Hi Andreas,
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful recommendation. We’re delighted to hear that you experience the network as a safe and inspiring space for open leadership discussions, and that our conferences have provided valuable reflection and inspiration.
We truly appreciate your engagement and look forward to continuing the dialogue together.
Warm regards,
Presidents Institute
All my experiences with the Presidents Institute have been more than great. The team is extremely committed to providing the best network for their members, creating an environment where knowledge can be shared and developed into new thoughts and approaches, both personally and professionally.
Additionally, I have noticed that they are at the forefront of knowledge outside Denmark and approach many things in a way that gives me a more international vibe.
If you want a GREAT network - definitely join !

Where to start...
-I was trapped in my membership and their membership contact is vile. The only thing they contacted me about was the invoice.
Not only did the phone number provided not work. The sales person who recruited me had quit and I now had a point of contact. The CEO never answered emails or on the phone number listed. Finally got out because of a helpful girl.
-After getting out I asked them not to contact me or any of my employees again. And now we get spammed with invitations to their conference "Presidents Summit".
-In the membership they promised conferences but 4/9 got canceled or moved. This they communicated very poorly.
I would never in my life recommend this company to anyone. My tip: Stay away and block their email domain and phone number.

I worked with Presidents Institute during their March Perspectives event, and I was seriously impressed by the professionalism, co-ordination and skill of the team and their ability to organise such an incredible event for attendees to learn, network, and get inspired.
Not only were the team extremely friendly to work with, many of the attendees had really positive reviews from the event, some of which I had the pleasure of interviewing for the wrap up video.
A really talented team with incredible relationships with their members.
Thank you Presidents Institute - I hope we work together again soon!

I’ve been a member of Presidents Institute since 2019, and I’ve met both friends and professional sparring partners there.
The mix of networking opportunities, access to great industry events and outside experts sharing their knowledge has been a game changer for me professionally.
Why not five stars then?
Because while I’ve had many excellent experiences as a PI member, I’ve also seen some turbulence behind the scenes.
Hopefully those are all in the past, though, and when I next write a review it’ll be five stars with diamonds on top. 😃

I was invited to join a specific group of individual with affiliation and seniority. This had my specific interest for networking purposes. When I joined, none of there individuals were in the group.
During the season the nominated facilitator only participated 1-2 times, all other times substitutes were sent on short notice. Group participation was also modest. The networking never really materialized.
One external presenter gave a relevant presentation on circularity, other external presentors were stale and did not serve as inspiration.
When I turned down the invoice for renewal, I was cought on a technicality, the notice must be handed in before the invoice is received. PI eventually sent this to debt collection, hence this review.
In short; little value for money, and no honor if you want to leave.

We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We always strive to ensure that our members gain value from their network and from the group dynamic. Your feedback about the facilitator and speakers has been noted, and we continuously work to improve both the quality and consistency of our sessions.
Regarding the renewal process, we regret that there was a misunderstanding about the timing of termination notices. Our terms are designed to ensure clarity for all members, but we understand this can be frustrating, and we would like to review your case directly.
