Executive Summit

Technical debt is no longer just an IT hurdle — it’s a strategic challenge impacting agility, cost, and a CIO's ability to deliver a competitive advantage to the business.

Join this boardroom to discuss:

• Assessing the current state of technical debt
• Prioritizing technical debt to deliver on business objectives
• Navigating speed vs. quality to maintain a competitive advantage

AI can accelerate innovation, but unchecked experimentation risks critical data exposure. CIOs must champion secure, responsible AI adoption while also driving business growth through ingenuity.

Join this session to discuss:

• Defining non-negotiable data security controls for AI pilots
• Empowering teams to build cyber judgment and AI literacy
• Adapting policies based on lessons learned from AI experiments

Technology initiatives succeed when people embrace new ways of working. As organizations accelerate AI, modernization and enterprise transformation efforts, CIOs must do more than execute technology strategies. They must build trust, influence mindsets and drive the behavioral shifts needed to achieve sustainable adoption and business value.

Join this boardroom to discuss:

• Aligning stakeholders around a shared vision for transformation and change
• Empowering employees to adopt new technologies with confidence and purpose
• Building a culture of continuous adaptation

Every CIO has an AI project that didn’t go as planned — but those stories rarely get told. Let’s swap real-world experiences and uncover the lessons that turn setbacks into future success.

Join this boardroom to discuss:

• Sharing practical recovery strategies and pivots
• Building a culture of transparency and peer support

Artificial intelligence, generative AI and agentic automation are reshaping how organizations create value, compete and execute strategy. For CIOs, the challenge is not adopting another technology platform, but leading enterprise-wide transformation across the interconnected dimensions of people, partners, processes, products/services, and programs/technology. Drawing on the 5Ps Framework, this session explores how leaders can influence lasting change while preparing their organizations for continuous disruption.

Join this session to learn about:

• Assessing organizational readiness through the interconnected 5Ps framework
• Shaping transformation strategy by aligning innovation, investment and influence
• Anticipating emerging disruptions and evolving capabilities beyond today's AI

In this breakout, you’ll discuss how to:
