CDO Club Partners | CAIO/CDO Summit Partners

Below you will find a wide variety of partnerships offered by the CDO Club and our Chief AI Officer (CAIO), Chief Data/Analytics Officer (CDAO), and Chief Digital Officer (CDO) Summits.

We also deliver “sole sponsorship” events and campaigns, where we craft a unique proposal to meet your specific, targeted needs.

Based on more than a decade’s experience, we find that the most effective campaigns combine a mix of CDO Club and Summit partnerships below, delivered over time via a strategic, multi-channel 360-degree activation to maximize the best of both live, in-person touch-points with on-going, virtual contact.

Our Summits provide intimate, face-to-face connections with C-suite decision makers, while the CDO Club’s online campaigns move our partners beyond the four walls of each event to maintain connections with our community of 100,000+ email subscribers, 64,000 LinkedIn connections/followers, 50,000+ Twitter (X.com) followers on BeTheMedia, CDOSummit, CAIOSummit, and more than 1.5 million cumulative viewers on our YouTube channel.
