Agenda

Executive Boardroom Sessions

Traditional ERP is Dead — What's Next?

Agentic AI is transforming work and prompting leaders to rethink traditional suites and modernization strategies. This boardroom will examine how agentic AI is unbundling ERP responsibilities, reshaping process orchestration and enabling smarter service layers.

Join fellow CIOs to explore:

The rise of service layers, workflow engines and AI agents
What’s replacing monolithic ERP models
Key assumptions to challenge when evaluating vendor roadmaps

Data Governance — The Good, The Bad & The Accountable

Leveraging good quality data enables strategic decision making, but obtaining and defining “good data” isn’t a simple task. Organizations can fail to clarify data value and ownership, factors that often contribute to quality issues.

Join this session to discuss how to:

Identify and articulate the value of good data to internal stakeholders
Engage business partners and data owners to take accountability for data quality
Encourage data literacy to enable self-sustaining, data driven decision making

Keynote Session

The CIO Blueprint for AI Security

As attackers leverage AI to move faster than ever, traditional security strategies are falling behind. CIOs are now tasked with defending their organizations at machine speed, requiring a shift from reactive patching to proactive, autonomous protection. Leading enterprises are adopting continuous risk governance and measurable guardrails to ensure accountable AI adoption. CIOs are tasked with aligning business strategy with security outcomes and deliver board-level visibility into risk and remediation, all while enabling innovation.

Join this session to learn:

Aligning business strategy with real-time risk governance
Implementing measurable guardrails for accountable AI adoption
Delivering board-ready visibility into AI risk and remediation progress
