CTO Dinners
One table, one topic, and the people who are living it.
Actual organizes small, invitation-only dinners for CTOs and engineering leaders. Each one is hosted at the home of a local CTO or engineering leader. The evening takes one topic and gives the whole table time to compare what they have actually tried. There is no pitch and no panel.

How the table works
Three rules for the facilitated conversation
Each dinner includes one facilitated conversation, and the rules apply only to that part of the evening. The rest of the night is an ordinary dinner at someone's home. The rules are what make this different from a hosted dinner at a restaurant or a networking event. They let people say what is really going on, and they keep the conversation useful for everyone at the table.
Rule 1
One conversation
The whole table talks about one topic together. No side conversations, so everyone hears everything.
Rule 2
Stories, not advice
We share what we did and what happened. Nobody tells anyone else what they should do.
Rule 3
Nothing leaves the room
What is said in the conversation stays there, unless the person who said it tells you otherwise.
