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.

Driving Business Outcomes Through Agentic AI and Board Alignment

CIOs are shifting from showcasing exciting technology demonstrations to prioritizing practical, outcome driven AI initiatives that deliver measurable value. To secure funding, leaders must simplify their communication with the board and clearly connect technology investments to business growth, efficiency, and shareholder value.

Harnessing Data Democratization and Agile Cultures for Rapid Innovation

Organizations are accelerating progress by moving analytics out of IT silos and empowering business units with direct access to insights. As IT strengthens core data foundations, leaders are also cultivating transparent and adaptive cultures where teams feel confident experimenting and embracing new ways of working.

Navigating Ecosystem Modernization and Aggressive Rationalization

Mergers and acquisitions often expose deep technical debt, and the approaches used to consolidate fragmented systems are valuable for any organization undergoing transformation. In today's efficiency era, CIOs must aggressively rationalize applications and harmonize ERPs to reduce legacy bloat and secure highly vulnerable operational technology against emerging cyber threats.
