The IA FORUM is a highly curated, vendor-free, exclusive, invitation-only, private community for U.S. & global enterprise C-Suites, senior-level executives, accomplished professionals, and rising stars across artificial intelligence (AI), intelligent automation (IA), technology, operational excellence, and digital & business transformation.
The community consists of professional across artificial intelligence (AI), intelligent automation (IA), technology, CoE, GBS, shared services, governance, and functional domains - spanning those that build, design, and manage technology initiatives, those that govern and oversee them, and the functional leaders responsible for driving its adoption and business impact.
IA FORUM members are directly accountable for advancing enterprise-wide initiatives - spanning strategy, architecture, engineering, and execution - within some of the world’s most recognized organizations. Their work sits at the intersection of innovation and operations, where decisions have measurable business impact and transformation must be delivered at scale.
Technology professionals working in sales, marketing, business development, or client-facing job roles at vendor organizations are not eligible for membership.
What We Do
The IA FORUM is designed to provide its members with immediate and ongoing business and career value, enhanced thought leadership positioning & visibility - and to enable them to benchmark, collaborate, and network with their industry peers. As a result, members are better equipped to drive meaningful business impact back into their enterprise organizations, optimize their current and ongoing project initiatives, boost their job market value, and accelerate their short & long-term career trajectories.
Members gain direct access to peer insights, real-world perspectives, and collaborative discussions - alongside high-impact community programs that deepen practical knowledge sharing and application.
Additionally, all members are highly encouraged to contribute content to the IA FORUM Magazine and speak on events - and there’s unlimited opportunities for every member to do so. Furthermore, once someone becomes a member, they’re immediately welcomed into the community via our very robust new member onboarding programs.
How the IA FORUM Is Different
The IA FORUM is intentionally designed as a highly curated, boutique, intimate, high-touch, Founder-facilitated professional community - rather than a static, volume-driven corporate-led community for passive networking, static member directories, or low-engagement community participation.
A Boutique, High-Touch Experience: The IA FORUM is intentionally designed as a boutique, intimate, high-touch, member-centric professional community focused on meaningful peer collaboration and strategic relationship building - not a volume-driven networking model centered around passive participation and static member directories.
Highly Curated & Vendor-Free Community: Membership is selectively extended to enterprise practitioner leaders, accomplished professionals, and rising stars actively leading and/or significantly contributing to large-scale AI, intelligent automation, technology, operational excellence, and digital & business transformation initiatives.
Built for Real-World Enterprise Delivery Excellence: Members collaborate around real-world enterprise challenges, implementation strategies, lessons learned, benchmarking, delivery approaches, and measurable business impact outcomes.
