The best CFO peer group gives finance leaders a place to pressure-test the calls that keep them up at night, from capital strategy to AI in the finance function, with peers who carry the same responsibility. Open Future Forum runs that room for CFOs in San Francisco and beyond.
What is the Open Future Forum CFO community?
It is the finance-leadership track inside Open Future Forum, a global executive community founded in Silicon Valley in 2019. CFOs take part through the CFO Executive Forum and a calendar that includes private dinners and events, split across Forum Select, its invite-only private gatherings, and Forum Events, its open panels and gatherings.
What happens at CFO events?
Events range from open panels to invite-only dinners and gatherings held around the Bay Area. The CFO Executive Forum is guided by a board of finance leaders. Conversations focus on capital, planning, talent, and the finance leader’s role in AI and transformation.
Why join a CFO peer group?
Finance leadership carries real weight and little room to think out loud. A CFO peer group is where you can test your numbers against real benchmarks, hear how peers handled the same capital or hiring call, and walk through a board deck before you present it. The wider network puts finance leaders in the same rooms as the CEOs, CISOs, and investors they report to and work alongside.
How do you join?
Forum Events are open to finance leaders in the community. Forum Select gatherings, including CFO dinners, are invite-only. Request an invite here.
