All-female team powers Ortus Club's B2B Marketing Summit in Singapore

By AI, Created 9:31 AM UTC, May 29, 2026, /AGP/ – The Ortus Club says an all-female team helped run its B2B Marketing Summit for 200 senior marketing leaders at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. The event highlights how executive marketing gatherings are shifting toward tighter curation, deeper engagement and younger operators behind the scenes.

Why it matters: - The Ortus Club positioned the Summit as evidence that executive B2B events are being reshaped by intimacy, curation and experience, not just ballroom scale. - The event also put an all-female operations team in the spotlight in an industry that has historically been male dominated. - The Summit drew 200 senior marketing leaders, giving the team a high-visibility platform in one of APAC’s major event venues.

What happened: - The B2B Marketing Summit took place at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore on May 30, 2026. - The Ortus Club said the team running the event was almost entirely female, spanning the founder, host, operations, production, client relations, logistics, marketing and commercial follow-up. - Jess Circi, who co-founded The Ortus Club in Singapore in 2015, led the company behind the summit. - The company said the summit was built and delivered by millennials and Gen Z staff who grew up professionally inside The Ortus Club.

The details: - Sabrina Manansala hosted the summit and used her background as a trained musician and actress to keep senior executives engaged from the stage. - Anya Africa led operations and ran the podcast corner that captured attendee insights for the event’s editorial content. - Jamie Aclan managed partner relations on the floor and recorded red carpet-style moments with a microphone. - Ines Smith Garcia handled sponsor relationships with Ahrefs, Twilio and SailPoint. - Yna Maniago oversaw production, including stage, lighting and supplier coordination. - Ciara Manalansan worked client relations and memorized the names, stories and context of 200 executives in real time. - Aira Jacobo and BB Batongbakal handled logistics. - Chayee Diyco led marketing, transcribed insights live and directed photography and video coverage. - Flandra Saidiku, Nikki Clanor and Karen handled commercial conversations, guest curation and post-event follow-up. - Jess Circi said the team’s preparation took a decade and that the company is still learning every day. - Circi said the team learned to build the business together while still being young and ambitious themselves. - The Ortus Club said the company’s close internal culture comes from years of working together and scaling slowly with people willing to figure things out alongside the founders. - Circi said the team’s muscle memory came from hundreds of events and let staff react before anyone else in the room noticed a shift. - Circi said the proudest moment was watching the women on her team stay prepared, calm and effective. - The Ortus Club said it has produced more than 2,500 events in more than 40 countries and worked with Google, Meta, AWS, Visa, Canva, NVIDIA, Adobe and Twilio. - The company also said it has hosted events in 15+ languages and partnered with organizations including Dell. - The release ended with a call for interested parties to book a meeting with the team behind the Summit. - The company listed its website as Learn more. - The company also shared social links on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and TikTok.

Between the lines: - The release doubles as a talent and brand story, using the summit to showcase the operators behind the company rather than only the attendees or sponsors. - By emphasizing young women in execution roles, The Ortus Club is signaling a different model for premium executive events, one built around specialized labor and tight internal coordination. - The sponsor and client list suggests the company is using marquee brands to validate its own flagship event format.

What’s next: - The Ortus Club is signaling that it will keep using what it learned from running events for major brands to build its own invite-only executive experiences. - The company is inviting prospective clients and partners to meet the team behind the summit and engage with the broader business.
