Agenda
Coming Soon
The CIO & CISO Executive Summit agendas are driven by the mission-critical priorities identified among the community. Each agenda is uniquely crafted By CIOs & CISOs, For CIOs & CISOs, and will be available closer to the gathering. All topics and sessions will be inspired by the following themes.
Operationalise AI for Tangible Business Transformation
CIOs know they must move beyond experimentation to implement AI at scale. By aligning IT & business teams to deliver measurable value & manage costs, CIOs can have greater influence on technological change.
Build Resilience Amidst Evolving Threats & Global Compliance
CISOs must lead the shift from pure cyber defence to holistic business resilience. By embedding security into supply chains, applications, & culture, CISOs can keep up with the threat landscape whilst also adhering to shifting global regulations.
Secure Innovation & Data in a Digital-First Era
CIOs & CISOs must collaborate to secure legacy & emerging technologies & address data governance risks. By balancing agility, sovereignty, & compliance, IT & Security leaders can ensure business continuity whilst delivering on transformation.
