Chatham House Rule
The Chatham House Rule is designed to increase openness of discussion. It allows people to speak as individuals and to express views that may not be those of their organizations, and therefore encourages free discussion.
At CIO Ventures, this rule enables technology leaders to share candidly about challenges, failures, and lessons learned without fear of attribution or repercussion.

Chatham House, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, is a world-leading policy institute based in London. The rule was created in 1927 and has since been used worldwide to facilitate open discussions on sensitive topics. Learn more at chathamhouse.org.
When a meeting, or part thereof, is held under the Chatham House Rule, participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed.
