IA FORUM Surge memberships are designed for U.S. & global enterprise accomplished professionals and rising stars to benchmark strategies, exchange real-world insights, and collaborate with C-Suite, senior-level executives, and their peers navigating similar challenges across various technology domains and industries.
All community programs are designed to provide members with immediate and long-term business and career value, while enabling them to be better equipped to drive meaningful business impact back into their organizations, optimize current and ongoing project initiatives, boost their job market value, and accelerate their short- and long-term career trajectories.
At the same time, Surge members are provided with highly valuable insights, tools, resources, and connections to expand their professional network, elevate their industry visibility, and accelerate their career trajectory. Through direct engagement with C-Suite and senior-level executives, alongside their peers, Surge members gain unique exposure, perspective, and access that is rarely available at this stage of their careers.
Technology professionals working in sales, marketing, business development, or client-facing job roles at vendor organizations are not eligible for membership.
