About CEO Boardroom™

At CEO Boardroom™, we firmly believe that only CEOs can understand the strain, stress, pressure, and relentless pace of running growing businesses. Strained for time, CEOs face countless invitations to professional and social events but limited opportunities to connect with their peers in private, luxurious, intimate settings.  How many teaming, growth, or relationship opportunities have been missed because of this? 

Thankfully, CEO Boardroom™ solves these problems, bringing the business experiences of hundreds of CEOs to bear while giving each member access to new relationships, top speakers, and great minds at truly memorable events.

CEO Boardroom™ founder Steven Abramowitz is one of the greatest networkers of our age. Over 35 years he has nurtured a network of over 7,200 executive contacts and over 3,700 CEOs. With a syndicated column in the American City Business Journals, countless public speaking engagements, and CEO events dating back to 1994, Steve is a recognized connector who has earned the trust, respect, and confidence of the region’s most successful leaders.  

Steve organized his first CEO network in 1989, his first event in 1994, and over the next ten years hosted 1,000 CEOs at his exclusive dinner events.  Steven’s universal and timeless views on business, connecting, business relationships, and leadership have attracted attention from leaders in the business, public and private sectors, in the non-profit and for-profit world, and have earned him invitations to meet with and access an unusually broad range of leaders of organizations.

These include AOL, Human Genome Sciences, Discovery Channel, Merrill Lynch, Raymond James, Members of The House of Representatives, Congressional Joint Committees, Washington Ballet, Dr. Stephen Covey, Dr. Thomas Stanley, civic and non-profits, and numerous emerging growth companies.  

Steven shares his optimism with all who will listen. With an uncanny gift to connect and align leaders as partners, Steven has hosted corporate gatherings around the U.S. including events organized by Ernst & Young, the Northern Virginia High Tech and Maryland Councils, MD Bio Alliance, BMW, CBS, the NFLCA, Washington Nationals, Young Presidents Organization, and Entrepreneur Organization.

He also has appeared in numerous panels and been quoted in regional press, including The Washington Business Journal, Washington Sentinel, Washington Techway, Smart CEO, and has been featured on Comcast cable regionally.

Steven has served on the board of advisors for The Dingman Center of Entrepreneurship, the D.C. Board of Directors of The Institute of Management Accountants, and the President’s Inner Circle of the University of Maryland.

Active in the not-for-profit world, Steven has served as an Ambassador for the National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship, an organization that helps young people from low-income communities build skills and unlock their entrepreneurial creativity. Also, he is a co-founder of Champion’s Quest International, an organization that supports young leaders to discover and cultivate their champion voice.

He teaches “the art of connecting and aligning at the top” to organizations around the region. 

Steven resides with his very much loved family in suburban Washington, DC.
