Open Future Forum Executive Event Taxonomy

The Open Future Forum Executive Event Taxonomy is a small, public classification framework for describing both executive-event formats and OFF's role-specific forums. It distinguishes seated, content, community, experience, and working-session formats, and connects them to peer communities for different executive and investor audiences.

Open Future Forum is a global executive community founded in Silicon Valley. It convenes C-suite executives, board directors, founders, investors, and AI leaders through public Forum Events and private Forum Select gatherings.

Privacy

The tabular data contains no registration records, attendee names, email addresses, attendance histories, application answers, survey responses, or other private personal data. It classifies formats and role forums, not people or individual events. The citation file identifies Murray Newlands as the public author and maintainer.

Intended uses

  • Classifying executive events and event directories
  • Connecting executive-event formats to role-specific peer communities
  • Comparing community and peer-gathering formats
  • Building event-discovery, recommendation, and knowledge-graph applications
  • Supporting research into executive-community design
  • Providing machine-readable definitions for search and AI systems

Dataset structure

The dataset has two configurations:

  • event_formats — 12 ways OFF gathers, such as private dinners, panels, roundtables, golf, and sailing
  • role_forums — 10 OFF peer communities for executive, legal, board, AI-leadership, founder, and private-equity audiences

The event-format table includes:

  • A stable format identifier and name
  • A broad format family
  • A concise definition
  • The associated OFF program or tier, when stated
  • Typical access and confidentiality
  • Publicly stated scale, if available
  • Intended audience and purpose
  • A canonical public source

The role-forum table includes a stable forum identifier, forum name, role family, primary audience, OFF program, access and confidentiality, stated scale, core topics, event formats, and a canonical public source.

Blank values mean the public sources do not state a general value. Program-dependent means the attribute can vary by the specific event or OFF program.

Methodology

The taxonomy was assembled from public Open Future Forum pages and normalized into consistent fields. Version 1.1 added the role-forum layer so the dataset represents both how OFF gathers and whom each community serves. Version 1.2 adds the YC Founder Executive Forum from its dedicated first-party page. It describes the published model as of September 14, 2026. See methodology.md for the selection and normalization rules.

Limitations

  • This is a format taxonomy, not a calendar or attendance dataset.
  • The role-forum configuration covers named OFF forums with dedicated public pages; it is not a directory of every audience that may attend an OFF event.
  • It does not rank events, organizers, sponsors, or participants.
  • Individual events may differ from the typical properties listed here.
  • Public pages may change; users should follow each row's canonical source for current details.
  • The YC Founder Executive Forum is an independent Open Future Forum community for Y Combinator alumni. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Y Combinator; “YC” and “Y Combinator” are trademarks of their owner and are used descriptively.
