The Evolving Role of the CPO

​An invite-only evening for CPOs

​Join a select group of CPOs for an evening of candid conversation about the challenges shaping modern software organizations.

​This isn't a panel or a pitch. It's a working forum: structured around two real questions your peers are wrestling with right now: how to modernize what you have, and how to build what's next. Come ready to share, not just listen.

​The evening begins with roundtable discussion and use-case breakouts, where small groups dig into specific challenges around legacy modernization and net-new development. We'll surface themes and insights across the full group before moving to a private dinner, where the conversation continues over a relaxed, hosted meal.

​What to expect:

• ​Roundtable + breakout discussions — informal, peer-led, no slides

• ​Two discussion questions sent in advance (takes 5 minutes, come prepared)

• ​Private dinner following the forum

• ​Chatham House rules apply: what's said in the room stays in the room

​Space is intentionally limited. This forum is the first in a series leading to Forge Summit 2026, our flagship event in September.
