Private dinners, panels, golf, sailing, wine tastings, suites at games, and more
Open Future Forum is a private executive community in Silicon Valley that runs events and dinners for C-suite executives. The dinner is one format. The full range is designed around a single principle: match the setting to the conversation the room needs to have.
The private dinner is the flagship format of Forum Select: off-the-record, 8 to 30 executives, no vendors, no agenda. Roundtables offer a structured conversation format for working through a defined question together.
Forum Events panels bring practitioners together to work through live AI questions in front of the wider community. These are the front door to Open Future Forum for leaders who have not yet been invited to Forum Select.

Founder-specific gatherings bring operators and investors together around the specific questions founders face as they navigate AI, scale, and capital in the current environment.
Role-specific forums where leaders work through the questions specific to their seat alongside peers. Each forum operates on the give-first standard.
CFO ForumThe format is never chosen for aesthetics alone. A golf gathering produces one kind of conversation. A private dinner produces another. Both serve the same purpose: trusted peers working through real questions.
A private dinner of 12 executives produces depth: the room is small, the conversation is confidential, and no one is performing for an audience. A panel of 80 produces breadth: exposure to ideas and people across the community. A golf gathering or suite at a game produces something different again: time without an agenda, which is where the most honest conversations happen.
Open Future Forum chooses formats deliberately. The goal in every case is the same: get the right people in the room and protect the quality of the conversation. The format is the method, not the point.
Forum Events is the open tier. Panels, roundtables, and community gatherings for the wider AI and technology community. Anyone in the AI and tech ecosystem can attend. These events are not off-the-record.
Forum Select is the private tier. Invitation-only, off-the-record gatherings of 8 to 30 C-suite executives and board directors, convened by Murray Newlands, Partner at IA Seed Ventures and Tilden Family Office Group. No recording, no vendors. Off-the-record applies to this tier, not to the whole brand.
Open Future Forum events are for C-suite executives, board directors, founders, and investors navigating AI decisions. Forum Events are open to the wider AI and technology community. Forum Select is by invitation or referral.
