The Evolving Role of the CIO

An invite-only evening for CIOs Join a select group of CIOs for an evening of candid conversation about the challenges shaping modern software organizations. This isn't a panel or a pitch. It's a working forum: structured around two real questions your peers are wrestling with right now: how to modernize what you have, and how to build what's next. Come ready to share, not just listen. The evening begins with roundtable discussion and use-case breakouts, where small groups dig into specific challenges around legacy modernization and net-new development. We'll surface themes and insights across the full group before moving to a private dinner, where the conversation continues over a relaxed, hosted meal. What to expect: Roundtable + breakout discussions — informal, peer-led, no slides Two discussion questions sent in advance (takes 5 minutes, come prepared) Private dinner following the forum Chatham House rules apply: what's said in the room stays in the room Space is intentionally limited. This forum is the first in a series leading to Forge Summit 2026, our flagship event in September.
