The IA FORUM Community

The IA FORUM is NOT like other similar business communities.

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.

All IA FORUM members are exceptionally busy enterprise executives and professionals with highly demanding careers, responsibilities, and schedules.

That's why every IA FORUM program, event, and engagement opportunity is intentionally designed to provide maximum business and career value - while giving members complete flexibility over how, when, and where they participate. Members participate entirely at their own pace and convenience - choosing only the programs, events, relationships, introductions, and opportunities that best align with their business and career goals, priorities, interests, and availability.

With the IA FORUM's highly flexible member engagement model, even the busiest enterprise executives can easily take advantage of the community’s programs designed for members to benchmark, collaborate, and build impactful business relationships with peers outside their organization; strengthen their professional visibility; optimize their current and ongoing business initiatives; boost their job market value; and accelerate their short & long-term career trajectories.
