Join the Blue Key Network

Founding Membership Now Open

This is your opportunity to shape the foundation of a network built by and for CIOs—before we expand further.

Blue Key Network

Where CIOs Talk Candidly—and Off the Record

A private, invite-only community for CIOs of mid-market organizations.

✔️ Peer-led, confidential conversations
✔️ Practical, experience-based insight
✔️ No vendors. No recordings. No noise.

If you're leading in complexity and want real connection, you're in the right place.

Who should join?

You might be a fit if you:

Lead IT at a mid-market sized organization
Are navigating digital transformation, org change, or board-level visibility
Want real conversations—not another polished playbook
Are tired of vendor pitches and sales-driven events
Value discretion, honesty, and peer-level challenge

What Founding Members receive:

Lifetime membership

Priority access to all sessions and future programs

Influence on how the network evolves

A vetted circle of CIOs committed to leading differently

What to expect:

We meet monthly.

Each session follows a two-part structure:

Pre-selected topic discussion (member-voted)
Open peer exchange for in-the-moment challenges
