Sponsors make the Forum’s evening events possible.

The LA CTO Forum is free for its members. Sponsors support the in-person evening events where Southern California’s senior technology leaders meet, and the Forum thanks them for it.

Why sponsors support the Forum

A curated peer network of the region’s senior-most technology leaders, meeting since 2001.

  • Reach 350+ senior technology leaders

    Members are the senior-most technology leaders at their organizations, long-tenured and first-time CTOs alike, focused on Southern California.

  • Support the SoCal technology ecosystem

    The Forum exists to help its members be more effective CTOs, and through them to strengthen technology across the region.

  • A community running since 2001

    A long-running, practitioner-led peer group. Membership is free; members give back by contributing to the group and to each other.

How sponsorship works

Sponsorship fits the way the Forum works: practitioners helping practitioners.

  1. Sponsors support in-person evening events

    About six times a year, members and VIP guests meet in person at evening events around the region. Sponsorship makes those evenings possible.

  2. Sponsors are thanked and credited

    Sponsors are introduced to members when they join, thanked at the events they support, and credited on this site with a page of their own.

  3. Peers, not vendors

    Member meetings stay practitioner-only: there are no pitch slots and no selling. That is what keeps members coming back, and it is what sponsors support.
