Executive Summit

As digital transformation accelerates and emerging technologies like AI reshape the business landscape, CIOs and CISOs must look beyond the horizon to keep their organisations relevant and resilient. Success now hinges on more than just adopting new technologies—it’s about building future-fit strategies, elevating service management, and nurturing a culture that connects people, purpose, and progress.

Join Pascal Pauwels, Group CIO at Colruyt as he explores how IT & Security leaders can:

• Build future-fit roadmaps that integrate robust data management to scale innovation with confidence and control
• Balance transformation, cybersecurity risk mitigation, and business continuity for sustainable growth
• Foster a culture of shared accountability and continuous improvement to connect people, purpose, and progress

Bolstering productivity and efficiencies across the enterprise is a primary function in the role of today’s IT leader, which increases reliance on emerging technologies, such as the enterprise browser. According to recent Gartner research, "Enterprise browsers will evolve to become the core platform for almost all of the day-to-day enterprise productivity and security software used by the workforce."

Join this session to discuss:

• Introduction of innovative possibilities for critical application protection
• Creating a secure employee experience centered on transparency and trust
• Reimagining how IT leaders can enable users while creating unique business value

No business leader invests in technology for its own sake—they seek measurable improvements in productivity, agility, and business outcomes. AI is no different, but its rapid evolution can make it difficult to determine where to start and how to scale. The key to unlocking ROI lies in identifying high-impact use cases, optimizing AI adoption, and ensuring teams have the right tools and skills to drive sustainable value.

Join this boardroom to explore:

• How to choose AI use cases that generate revenue, enhance productivity, and establish clear KPIs for ROI tracking
• Navigating the evolving AI ecosystem to align technology investments with business priorities
• Building and educating teams to support AI adoption, streamline implementation, and drive long-term impact

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

As digital transformation expands, so does the threat landscape. CIOs face the dual challenge of driving innovation while managing growing cyber risks and tighter budgets. Success now requires risk-based strategies, strong business alignment, and data-driven discussions at the leadership level. Andrea Bergamini, former CISO and now CIO at Orbia, shares how CIOs can lead by integrating security into digital strategy, fostering board-level collaboration, and enabling resilience across the enterprise.

Specifically, Andrea will discuss:

• Building strong IT-business partnerships and communicating cyber risk with data-driven, business-focused dialogue
• Creative, risk-driven investment strategies for cybersecurity amid budget constraints
• Practical lessons in stakeholder alignment, agile security, and the CISO-to-CIO transition

In response to mounting pressures to innovate faster and deliver value more efficiently, companies are increasingly turning to AI-led product-aligned operating models. This approach leverages the potential of data-driven decision making, powered by intelligent analytics and modeling, to break down silos, track what truly matters, and build supportive systems that accelerate business outcomes. Participate in this boardroom session to delve into:

• Mastering the art of engineering value at velocity through data-driven insights
• The reality of AI adoption and the promise of intelligent analytics for the future
• Typical roadblocks and practical examples of overcoming them with advanced modeling and decision support

In an era where attacks and threat actors are more sophisticated and traditional security paradigms are less effective, security leaders need to rethink what it means to be cyber resilient, contextualized for their organisation. All that said, it’s not a solo job - buy in from the entire business is key to move from traps to milestones.

Join this session to discuss:

• Lessons learned from building a business continuity plan for cyber resiliency
• Which insights truly matter for reporting on the company’s cyber risk in quantifiable terms
• Technologies to prioritise – and retire - with resilience in mind
