Dinners and roundtables
for CIOs, CTOs and
technology leaders.
Rooms where CIOs, CTOs and technology leaders compare notes on AI, infrastructure and enterprise transformation, with substance instead of hype and nothing on the table but ideas.
Why this room.
What these sessions are, and why senior leaders in this field make time for them.
Most technology leaders have moved past the question of whether to adopt AI. The harder questions, how transformation is sequenced, where it stalls, and what changes when models start shaping decisions, are best explored with peers who are living the same shift rather than reading about it.
Convene X convenes those peers. A small group of technology leaders, curated for seniority and relevance, around one question set in advance, chaired by a member of the founding team and held in confidence. Dinner, roundtable or webinar, the standard is the same: no panels, no pitches, and a conversation good enough that people stay in touch long after it ends.
What tends to be on the table.
The chair sets the question; the room decides where it goes. These are the threads that run through most of these conversations.
Where AI genuinely moves the needle, where pilots stall, and what the leaders who scaled it did differently.
The bets worth making and the ones to drop, debated in confidence rather than performed on a stage.
How responsibilities shift between technology, operations and the business as AI becomes everyday infrastructure.
Keeping control of risk, data and accountability while still moving at the speed the board expects.
Who is in the room.
Every seat is chosen for seniority, sector and a direct stake in the question. Guests are confirmed individually before an invitation is issued.
- Chief Information Officers and Chief Technology Officers
- Chief Digital and Chief Transformation Officers
- Heads of AI, data and enterprise architecture
- Technology leaders driving change at scale
How it works.
The same standard behind every Convene X room, whichever format you join.
Guest lists are built person by person for seniority, relevance and a real stake in the question. Every guest is confirmed individually.
A member of the founding team chairs the room and keeps it candid. Nothing said is attributed outside it, under Chatham House Rules.
No panels, no product demos, no sales agenda. Partners contribute to the conversation; they do not sell to the table.
Personal introductions after each room and a private group where the conversation carries on at the same senior level.
