What to Expect
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 and for” C-level executives in the community, and will be available closer to the gathering. All topics and sessions will be inspired by the following themes.
Building Trusted AI Capabilities Through Governance and Accountability
As AI adoption accelerates, technology and security leaders must move from experimentation to enterprise-wide execution. Building trusted AI capabilities requires clear governance, defined accountability and thoughtful oversight to ensure innovation is deployed responsibly. Leaders must establish the policies, controls and organizational readiness needed to scale AI while managing risk, protecting data and maintaining stakeholder trust.
Strengthening Identity and Cybersecurity Foundations for a Changing Threat Landscape
As cyber threats continue to evolve in sophistication and scale, strong security and identity foundations have become critical to enterprise protection. CIOs and CISOs must modernize identity and access management practices, strengthen cyber defenses and continuously adapt to emerging risks.
Protecting the Enterprise While Building Resilience and Accelerating Innovation
Organizations must strengthen their ability to withstand disruption while continuing to innovate and grow. Technology and security leaders are challenged to improve resilience across operations, technology platforms and third-party ecosystems while enabling new digital capabilities.
