Executive Summit

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 Transformation and Efficiency to Accelerate Business Outcomes

CIOs are reimagining technology and processes to streamline operations, boost agility, and enable faster, smarter decision-making. By championing transformation and operational efficiency, IT leaders can empower their organisations to respond to change, innovate at speed, and deliver tangible business results.

Maximising Business Value from IT Investments Through Strategic Alignment and Cost Optimisation

Amid heightened scrutiny of technology budgets, organisations must ensure IT investments are strategically aligned with business goals while maintaining rigorous cost management. CIOs are expected to collaborate closely with business leaders, prioritise high-impact initiatives, and use outcome-based metrics to demonstrate value. By optimising costs and aligning technology spend with organisational objectives, IT can drive measurable business outcomes and support long-term growth.

Enhancing Leadership Capabilities to Build a Culture Rooted in Trust and Accountability

Adaptability in the face of change requires high performing teams. Today’s CIOs are juggling storytelling to the board and persuading peers, inspiring teams on the verge of burnout, and preserving their own wellbeing.
