Program
A year-round structure for meaningful leadership exchange.
The forum combines recurring monthly engagement with in-depth seminars and an annual retreat.
Program design built for continuity.
The strength of the UCLA Anderson CEO Forum lies in its rhythm. Rather than relying on one-off events, the program creates a year-round structure that supports long-term peer connection and repeated opportunities for high-quality discussion. Members do not simply attend a session; they participate in an ongoing forum that compounds in value over time.
The monthly meeting format creates consistency. The seminar format creates topical depth. The annual retreat creates space for a broader and more reflective exchange. Together, these experiences support different modes of executive learning and peer contribution.

Journey
What the annual experience can look like.
Monthly forum meetings
Members meet regularly to examine leadership questions, discuss timely business challenges, and exchange practical strategies with peers. These sessions are designed to be relevant, focused, and worth the time of senior leaders.
Topical seminars
Seminars provide a platform for deeper exploration around management practice, industry change, organizational questions, or strategic decision frameworks. They enrich the ongoing meeting cadence and broaden the intellectual range of the forum.
Annual retreat experience
The retreat format creates the time and context for longer-form discussion. Members can step away from daily operational pressure, invest in reflection, and strengthen relationships across the forum community.
Continued peer connection
The value of the forum extends beyond the calendar itself. Members benefit from a network that remains available for perspective, support, and continued dialogue between formal program touchpoints.
Leadership
Discuss team development, culture, communication, and the human side of leading an organization at scale.
Governance
Consider board relationships, ownership responsibility, oversight, and long-term stewardship questions.
Execution
Examine how strategy translates into operations, priorities, and the disciplined follow-through required for durable performance.
