CIO Summit

A forum for innovative IT thought leaders

The past years financial turmoil have changed the world's economy, making it difficult to put your organization in a position to achieve success. The business goals have changed and CIOs are now tasked with trying to find emerging business opportunities that can drive value throughout the enterprise.

We're in a historic transition--one that is filled with opportunity, challenge and hope. Preparing for the upturn and making the right decisions in times of change can better position your enterprise to succeed in the upcoming years. Based on this, the theme of this year's summit is CIOs in Transition - The Shift From Cost Saver To Value Provider

The CIO Summit, our flagship event, is an opportunity to engage IT's greatest thinkers in hard-hitting dialogue, discussion, and debate. This is a unique opportunity to take part in C-suite peer-on-peer networking at a pivotal point in your career.

There has never been a greater opportunity for you, as an IT leader, to provide real business value at your organization. In order for you to take time out of the office, it has to be time well spent. We've created a unique blend of focused agenda sessions that will leave you invigorated and enthusiastic, and provide you with critical takeaways that you can implement at your business.

Here are a few reasons why we think you need to join us:
