Yes, CIONET members can attend community events in other countries for free (travel and accommodation are at your own expense, unless otherwise arranged with that country).
For Round Tables, the rules are different. These smaller gatherings are generally reserved for local members, as the topics are most relevant to IT executives in that country. If you believe you could add valuable insights to a Round Table abroad, please reach out directly to that country team.

Your Account Level may be ajusted accordingly.
Please note that if your new role is junior, non-IT, or with an IT supplier, your membership may be paused or discontinued until you take on another relevant role.
No, CIONET events are generally exclusive to members. If you meet the criteria, you can sign up in under a minute (add link).
However, some larger online initiatives, such as CIONEXT or the CIONET Awards, are usually open to a wider audience, allowing non-members to participate.
Normally, CIONET events are held in the local language of the country hosting the event.
However, there are exceptions. In Belgium, most events are conducted in English due to the variety of languages spoken, with the exception of Les Rencontres, which is a circle for the French-speaking subcommunity.
Additionally, all of the international or online events (like CIOFEST) are also held in English.
Membership with CIONET is personal and belongs to the individual digital leader. There’s no limit to how many people from the same company can join, as long as they meet the membership criteria.
Partnership, on the other hand, is for the company (typically a technology provider or consultancy).
