About the dinner

Open Future Forum brings together 10 to 15 CEOs for a private seated dinner in Los Altos Hills.

There are no panels, formal presentations, recordings, or sales pitches. The purpose is candid conversation between experienced leaders who can speak openly about the decisions and challenges they are facing.

The conversation is the event.

There is no charge for attending CEOs.

Who is in the room

The dinner is for founders and CEOs of companies that meet at least one of the following criteria:
