St. Louis CIO Executive Summit

Join us for a delightful evening of creativity, relaxation and philanthropy at The Bellwether, hosted by Paint the Town's talented instructor Tiffany. This event offers the perfect opportunity to unwind, unleash your inner artist, and make a difference in the community. During the painting session, Tiffany will guide you through the creation of a beautiful masterpiece, providing step-by-step instructions and encouragement along the way. Whether you're a seasoned artist or picking up a brush for the first time, you'll enjoy the process of bringing your vision to life. 

Time, as we experience it, is not linear, yet why do we pretend that it is? How do we measure the true value of our time? In this mind-bending session, John K. Coyle will apply creative deconstruction to what we think we know about time, and you will learn how to slow, stop and reverse the perceived acceleration of time most adults feel and experience the endless summers of youth again.

Grab a seat and learn how to:

• Understand the forces that govern experiential time
• Discover actions you can take to manipulate your perception of time
• Design your life to create intense and memorable experiences that expand time

New laws and precedents expose cybersecurity leaders to personal liability, and watching the news isn’t helping. How can CISOs protect themselves and everything they built?

• Essential questions to ask key stakeholders about coverage
• Elements for effective D&O policies

Quality employee and customer/citizen experiences are key to maintaining a sustainable and competitive edge, and CIOs and CISOS are increasingly looking at automation and AI innovations to transform digital experiences.

• Leveraging technologies to enhance and streamline user experience
• Using automation for scaling self-service experiences while reducing costs
• Developing techniques for solving real world business problems with AI

As the cloud landscape continues to evolve, so too should the strategies CISOs develop in order to remain secure. The seismic changes of cloud migration, and ultimately cloud maturity, can be difficult to manage, but the CISOs who transition effectively will find their organizations more agile and secure.

During this peer-discussion you will explore:

• Strategies to guide your organization's cloud priorities
• Connecting a “cloud right” strategy to business value
• Setting realistic goals to achieve cloud maturity

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.

Traditional recruitment for tech positions oftentimes shrinks the talent pool. Leaders can help bolster their teams and expand their collection of potential candidates through new and diverse talent pipelines.

During this keynote, speakers will discuss:

• Building and retaining a diverse talent pipeline
• Developing technology leaders through succession planning
• Understanding and involving neurodiverse individuals in the workplace
