The CIO Initiative®: The Executive Initiative®
The CIO Initiative® Summit
Philadelphia, 2026
September 23 and 24, 2026
The Notary Hotel, Philadelphia
The Executive Initiative® is pleased to announce the CIO Initiative® Summit, Philadelphia: a curated, executive-only gathering of senior technology leaders, to be held September 23 and 24, 2026 at The Notary Hotel in Philadelphia.
The CIO Initiative® Summit brings together Chief Information Officers and senior technology executives for two days of candid dialogue, peer-led insight, and meaningful professional connection. Structured under the Chatham House Rule, the Summit creates the conditions for the kind of conversation that is rarely possible in a conventional conference environment: honest, vendor-free, and grounded in the real challenges of senior technology leadership.
The Philadelphia Summit continues The Executive Initiative’s commitment to convening the highest-caliber technology leadership forums: events where the quality of the conversation is as carefully considered as the quality of the venue.
“The most valuable professional conversations happen in rooms where the agenda belongs to the participants, not the sponsors.”
About The CIO Initiative® Summit
The CIO Initiative® Summit is an invitation-only, two-day executive event designed exclusively for Chief Information Officers and senior technology leaders. Sessions are structured around peer dialogue, panel discussion, and facilitated conversation: with no vendor presentations, no sales activity, and no passive content consumption.
Participants are selected to ensure a high-caliber, diverse, and balanced room. Every attendee is a practicing senior technology executive. The format is intentionally intimate, creating the depth of engagement that larger conferences cannot replicate.
The Notary Hotel, Philadelphia provides a premium setting befitting the level of the conversation: a distinguished venue in the heart of one of the most historically significant cities in the world.
