Influence the Future: CXO × Startup Innovation Roundtable
Closed-door | Invite-only | No pitches | Curated leaders only
The Voice of CXO Innovation Roundtable is an invite-only gathering that brings together visionary CXOs and high-growth startup founders for a deeply collaborative, insight-rich conversation. In a world where technology evolves faster than enterprise needs, this roundtable creates the rare environment where leaders can speak openly, challenge assumptions, and guide the future of innovation.
Designed with intention—not noise—this experience eliminates sales pressures, surface-level conversations, and traditional event fatigue. Instead, it offers a curated space where leaders share real challenges, explore emerging solutions, and collectively identify what the next generation of enterprise products must look like.
If you're a CXO navigating complexity or a founder building for the enterprise ecosystem, this is where meaningful alignment happens.
Why This Roundtable Matters
C-suite leaders today are facing unprecedented shifts—AI adoption, data fragmentation, compliance pressure, operational bottlenecks, rising cost centers, and cross-functional misalignment. Meanwhile, startups are innovating rapidly but often lack the clarity needed to build what enterprises truly want.
This event bridges that gap.

What Makes Voice of CXO Different?
Voice of CXO is built on community, not commercialization.
Most events are pay-to-play, sponsorship-driven, or designed around vendor visibility. This roundtable is intentionally different.
