The iMasons Innovation Podcast Thought Leadership #30 Innovation You Can Join: The iMasons 2026 System
In this episode, Romain Tranchant, Chair of the iMasons Innovation Committee, reveals how innovation will operate at iMasons in 2026: as a structured, predictable, and participative system. You’ll hear how the committee has moved to a 12-month operating model, introduced working groups, expanded global timezone coverage, and created clearer pathways for members, partners, and innovators to get involved.
The episode features two fireside chats that anchor both vision and execution.
First, Cyre Quinones, CEO of iMasons, shares her perspective on the unique position iMasons holds in the digital infrastructure industry. She explains what makes the community credible, why innovation at iMasons is different from traditional industry approaches, and where she sees the greatest opportunity for iMasons to create influence and value.
Then, Rudolf Gordon-Seymour, EMEA Regional Director, brings the regional and operational perspective. He explores how this vision translates into real engagement on the ground, how members and partners can activate locally, and why the Innovation Committee model creates momentum that goes beyond individual events or initiatives.
Together, these conversations show how iMasons connects leadership vision with practical execution. From working groups and open meetings, to thought leadership sessions, the startup incubator, and pitch competitions, this episode makes it clear how innovation is no longer something to observe, but something to step into.
By the end of the episode, you’ll understand:
- How innovation at iMasons is structured in 2026
