Collectively Driving Digital Transformation Excellence



UPCOMING EVENTS

The IA FORUM is not another training library or collection of static webinars and content - it’s a peer-to-peer global community where senior-level technology leaders openly share use cases, best practices, and lessons learned from real-world technology and digital & business transformation initiatives. Members gain practical, actionable insights and external perspectives they can’t get from internal resources, free communities, or YouTube. This collaborative knowledge-sharing and benchmarking helps members to better address their day-to-day project challenges while accelerating their organization’s technology and digital & business transformation objectives.

That said, the IA FORUM Isn’t Just a Professional Community - It’s a Strategic Asset for Future-Proofing Your Career

The IA FORUM provides its members with year-round opportunities to potentially attend 120+ virtual and in-person events annually. Nearly every month there are 10 virtual events and 1 - 2 in-person dinners that take place around the world.

IA FORUM virtual events are NOT webinars - which tend to be informative, yet always very static, lifeless, and unengaging event attendees.

Instead, there’re highly engaging community events whereas not only do the member speakers speak on their event subject matter, but the event also includes structured networking time and an open discussion format to enable our global members attending an event to chime in during and at the end of the event, to ask highly pointed questions of the speakers, and/or to provide their thoughts and commentary on the subject at hand - and to follow up with each other offline, via the IA FORUM Slack workspace/channels, to further discuss the subject and build upon the connections they made with other members while attending an event.

That said, not only are IA FORUM virtual events very informative, yet they’re also highly engaging, thought provoking, and collaborative opportunities to enable members to stay connected with the community and its global members - to network, benchmark, and collaborate with their peers; obtain highly valuable peer-to-peer and industry insights; enhance their skill sets; and expand their professional network.
