2026 Ohio CEO Retreat

The CEO Retreat is back. Join 100+ of Ohio’s top tech executives.

There aren’t many opportunities for CEOs to spend a day with other people who have the same seat.

That’s why we built the OhioX CEO Retreat.

On September 17th, more than 100 CEOs and top executives will join us from markets across the state: Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo, and more.

It’s a chance to meet other leaders, compare notes on the challenges every business is facing, and build relationships well beyond your usual network.

On the agenda:

• Growth: When to expand — and when to stay focused
• Leadership: Managing your own time, energy and decision-making
• AI + disruption: Leading when the market moves faster than the plan
• Revenue: Building beyond CEO-led sales
• Technology: What to build, buy, test or wait on
• Ohio: What our innovation economy needs next

The Retreat is designed around candid conversation and follows Chatham House Rule — it creates space for leaders to talk about what’s working, what isn’t, and what they’re figuring out in real time.

One thing to know: Every OhioX CEO Retreat since we launched in 2022 has sold out.

This year is on track to do the same.

If you’re a CEO or your company’s top Ohio executive, please consider joining us.

We hope to see you there.
