Off the record. By invitation. A private forum for founders and chief executives.
The CEO Executive Forum gathers founders and chief executives of high-growth companies. It is part of Open Future Forum, and it runs on the same principle: everyone in the room is a giver.
There is no pitch, no agenda, no recording. The conversations are the ones a chief executive cannot have with their team or their board, held with peers who understand the seat.
The private dinner is the center of the forum. Around it, members gather in a handful of settings built for the way founders and chief executives actually connect.
Sharp, off-the-record sessions on the questions founders and chief executives are working through right now.
Smaller, relaxed gatherings where the conversation runs long and the introductions stick.
A full day with a small group of peers, the kind of time that builds real trust.
A signature Open Future Forum setting on the bay, where the room opens up away from the office.
Private boxes at Giants games, a relaxed room for members and their guests.
Practical working sessions on how AI is changing the company and the questions on the CEO agenda.
Gatherings are announced through Open Future Forum. Register, get reminders, and find the next room on the Forum Events page.

View Forum EventsThe forum is built for founders and chief executives who make the room better. The question is simple: does this person give more than they take?
Members are identified by how they show up, long before any invitation is extended. If the answer is yes, a personal note follows.
Like every Open Future Forum room, the CEO Executive Forum runs on Adam Grant's Give and Take: the most generous people in the room create the most value over time.
Members offer their honest read of the business, the board, the market, without holding back for advantage.
The most valued act in the room is a warm introduction made without being asked.
This is not a quid pro quo network. The room holds the debt and pays it forward.
If you think you belong in the CEO Executive Forum, or know a founder or chief executive who does, we'd like to hear from you. Membership is by invitation or referral, reviewed personally by Murray Newlands.
