Digital Strategy Exchange

About Digital Strategy Exchange

The Digital Strategy Exchange (DSX) is an exclusive peer-to-peer professional development network for brand-side (client-side) in-house digital leaders (Manager, Director, VP, CxO) and individual consultants with 5+ years of brand-side experience. We host monthly member meetings and occasional in-person events open to the business community. Members have access to an exclusive online community. The Basic membership level is free, and Premium membership is $95 for the first year. We also have a Team membership level available. We provide a forum to network, learn, exchange ideas, learnings, best practices, jobs, and opinions in a vendor-free space (e.g., no vendors, agencies, or "influencers" who have never been practitioners). The role of leading effective digital strategy and execution at companies has never been more complex and full of opportunity than it is now. It's a great time to unite as a community, learn from each other, and excel at what's next. The founder of the Digital Strategy Exchange is Steve Gehlen, a 25-year in-house digital executive (Nike, Icebreaker Clothing, Pendleton, OHSU, Cambia Health Solutions, Hollywood Video, Brandlive, Wilco, and others). Steve founded and managed a similar organization from 2004-2009 called the Internet Strategy Forum, which grew to a national membership of 1,500 in-house-only digital executives, with a Board of Directors from Disney, Visa, Intel, IBM, Oregon Health & Sciences University, NBC/Universal, and others. Steve has also produced several sold-out business events, including the Co-creAIt unconference series, the Internet Strategy Forum Summit, Cre8con (the Portland Creative Conference), the Cre8Camp unconference series, and Inverge: the interactive convergence conference.
