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.

Modernizing The IT Operating Model to Enable Business Agility

IT and security leaders are increasingly focused on maturing operating models to align with business ambitions and provide decision flexibility in an ever-changing environment. The rapid pace of change and external pressures on the business compel the CIO & CISO to act decisively.

Connecting Investments to Business Outcomes Through Strategic Alignment

Economic uncertainty and the drive for cost optimization in the name of transformation are pushing CFOs to challenge IT budgets. In response, CIOs & CISOs must engage with business leaders comprehensively on everything from outcome-driven metrics to stakeholder engagement strategies.

Building Resilient Cybersecurity Ecosystems for Sustainable Growth

Leaders are enhancing their cybersecurity ecosystems to better support sustainable business growth and withstand rapid change. Integrating cybersecurity into business strategies is crucial for promoting collaboration across departments and ensuring that cybersecurity measures are scalable and adaptable to future business needs.
