Agenda
Coming Soon
The CIO Executive Summit agendas are driven by the mission-critical priorities identified among the community. Each agenda is uniquely crafted By CIOs, For CIOs®, and will be available closer to the gathering. All topics and sessions will be inspired by the following themes.
Collaboration and Co-Ownership to Drive Digital Innovation
So-called “digital vanguard” CIOs and their counterparts across the C-suite will achieve higher success by working closely together, co-owning digital initiatives, and sharing accountability across the business for optimal results.
Empowering Business Technologists
Technology leaders should encourage collaboration between IT and non-IT staff at all levels by providing resources, training, and platforms that facilitate the development of digital solutions across the enterprise.
Focus on Architecture and Innovation
Prioritizing the creation of a robust platform experience, ensuring architectural awareness, and co-creating innovation in all business areas will drive digital leadership and secure practices company-wide.
