The inaugural North American Forum took place in October 2005 in Sonoma, California. Though it brought together a wide range of public officials from all three countries, the proceedings and guest list were kept secret. An October 27, 2005 article in the Financial Post contained a partial list of invited guests, which included former Canadian finance minister John Manley, Mexican ambassador to the U.S. Carlos de Icaza, Chevron CEO David O'Reilly, former head of the CIA R. James Woolsey, and a host of U.S. policy advisors to President George W. Bush.

The 2006 North American Forum took place from September 12 to 14 at the Banff Springs Hotel in Alberta, Canada. It was hosted by the Canadian Council of Chief Executives with help from the Canada West Foundation. Under the title, Continental Prosperity in the New Security Environment, the Forum included sessions on "North American Energy Strategy," "Demographic and Social Dimensions of North American Integration," and "Border Infrastructure," among other topics.
