Where Silicon Valley CEOs meet their peers on AI: invite-only private dinners and open panels inside Open Future Forum.
Open Future Forum gives CEOs a place to think out loud with peers who carry the same weight. The conversation is candid, off the record in Forum Select, and free of pitching. Most communities group CEOs by company stage. Open Future Forum organizes around how CEOs actually lead, alongside the CFOs, CISOs, CTOs and board members in their orbit.
CEOs take part in two ways. Forum Select runs invitation-only private dinners for 8 to 30 C-suite leaders and board directors. Forum Events runs open panels, firesides and summits for the broader AI and tech community. Both share one philosophy: give more than you take.
Membership in Forum Select is by invitation or referral, reviewed personally by Murray. The question is simple: does this person make the room better? Do they share generously, ask good questions without self-promotion, and leave others with more than they arrived with?
A standing room of CEOs and C-suite leaders who understand the job from the inside, where you do not have to explain the stakes.
The most valued act in the room is a warm introduction offered before it is requested. Murray models it in every gathering.
What other serious operators are actually doing with AI, from the people doing it, not the conference circuit.
YPO and Vistage are general CEO peer organizations that have added AI programming. Hampton is a founder and CEO membership club. Open Future Forum is AI and enterprise-tech native, and it seats CEOs alongside the rest of the C-suite rather than grouping them by title or company stage. The full side-by-side is on the executive AI communities page.
