The Leaders of the Future Series is a cornerstone of the Executive Forum’s 2026 calendar and one of our most important leadership development initiatives.

Now in its 3rd year, this unique series of lunches is designed to connect, inspire, and accelerate Ireland’s next generation of senior executives. Typically, attendees are ‘young’ executives who are deemed to have the potential to be senior organisational leaders in the future.

Since its launch, the series has brought together over 750 emerging leaders from over 240 different organisations, offering rare access to some of Ireland’s most respected CEOs and business leaders via the event’s Open Forum format. Expect candid insights, lessons learned, and practical advice to help participants navigate the next stage of their executive career journey.

Event format:

• A fireside interview with two CEO speakers - A closed, facilitated discussion on leadership, ambition, and decision‑making

• A 15‑minute open forum where the audience can engage directly with CEOs
