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 CIOs & CISOs, For CIOs & CISOs®, and will be available closer to the gathering. All topics and sessions will be inspired by the following themes.

Harnessing AI to Drive Technological Transformation

CIOs & CISOs recognise AI’s power to transform business. By understanding how AI could shape the future of user and customer experience, IT & Security leaders will be prepared to embrace change and measure AI’s value beyond proof of concept.

Balancing Data Privacy & Innovation in a Globalised Digital Economy

In the face of rapid technological change and increased global regulations, CIOs & CISOs know they must balance innovation with compliance. By improving data quality and governance, IT & Security leaders can enable faster decision-making on digital investments, whilst also protecting sensitive data effectively.

Fostering a Cyber Resilient Culture to Strengthen Security Posture

CISOs know they must fortify their organisation's ability to anticipate, withstand, and recover from cyber threats. Equally important is to set governance guardrails that encourage rather than stifle innovation. By developing impactful security awareness campaigns and improving data security, CISOs can aim to strike a balance between innovation and security.
