Indianapolis CIO Executive Summit

Exclusive to Governing Body members and select guests, this dinner is a can’t-miss opportunity to connect with your peers prior to tomorrow’s Executive Summit. Please join your colleagues for an evening of good food, wine, and lively networking.

Connect with like-minded peers in a one-on-one setting through Evanta’s Peer-to-Peer Meetings. You will be matched with peers in your community based on your shared interests and priorities.

Research shows that diverse teams are more innovative and productive, but it's no secret that IT and cybersecurity positions have a diversity shortage. It is imperative that leaders take responsibility for promoting diversity and CIOs and CISOs are uniquely positioned to lead the organization in fostering inclusion. With the new hybrid workforce, the opportunity to cast a wider net to build diverse teams is a moment that should not be wasted.

Join this keynote panel to discuss:

• Accelerating innovation and business outcomes through the added advantage of having diversity and inclusion
• Path to creating a psychologically safe place at work
• The importance of establishing a support system to hire more diverse candidates

In an increasingly quickly changing landscape, the CISO paddles against the swift current of lacking resources, legacy processes and inadequate workforce skills. Keeping the organization technologically secure shouldn’t require going down with the ship.

In this fireside chat your peers will discuss:

• Securing assets effectively at every level with available resources
• Shifting from reactive to proactive strategies across the enterprise
• Preparing effective incident response/business continuity plans

Surveying that nearly half of all enterprises have achieved maturity of their digital efforts, Gartner concluded “Technology is now an essential element of every successful business strategy.” As advanced digitization and value creation becomes a business-wide mandate, a technology leader’s vision and guidance is vital to enabling pervasive IT adoption.

• Create a thriving, integrated IT partnership across the business
• Deploy assets to fuel technology advancement – from business relationship managers to business-led fusion teams
• Leverage the right executive allies to expand technology’s impact

Today’s increasingly complex and interconnected supply chain creates more opportunities than ever for malicious actors to cause damage to your business. Third-party data breaches are at an all-time high, and legacy approaches to third-party risk management can’t keep up.

• Continuous assessment and monitoring of third parties and supply chain partners 

• How to create an accurate inventory of all vendors within your ecosystem

• What to do when your third party gets breached

Executive boardrooms are intimate and interactive sessions designed to foster dynamic dialogue around a specific, strategic topic. These private, closed-door discussions encourage attendee participation and are limited to 15 attendees (seating priority is given to C-level executives).
