CEO Collaboration Day
The CEO Collaboration Day connects Entrepreneurs and Digital Executives in a peer to peer exchange around today's most relevant topics
Every great leader understands that remarkable accomplishments require collaboration with other great leaders.
The CEO Collaboration Day is an Executive Roundtable event where 30 selected entrepreneurs and corporate executives exchange with their peers and gain key insights & connections for breaking through to the next level.

Our executive members are Digital Executives (CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, etc.) of multinational corporations in Switzerland in the digital transition.
The CEO Collaboration Day features six key themes.

Every theme is organized into a roundtable with 6-8 people, where an open thought exchange of what worked and what did not work happens with your peers
