Executive Summit

As AI becomes embedded in core workflows, CIOs are responsible for performance, reliability, and user experience—not just access. Latency and poor visibility into AI interactions can overwhelm help desks, slow incident resolution, and reduce confidence in infrastructure or policy changes. A Zero Trust approach across internet access, AI applications, SaaS, and private applications can improve the AI user experience while enabling secure adoption through continuous validation and production guardrails.

Join this keynote to discuss:

• Reducing latency and performance degradation by modernizing access paths and eliminating unnecessary network complexity
• Establishing proactive experience monitoring and telemetry to detect degradation early and mitigate help-desk impact
• Accelerating troubleshooting with end-to-end visibility, improving confidence and speed when implementing infrastructure and policy changes

The shift from basic AI assistants to autonomous agents is reshaping the enterprise, turning passive tools into scalable workflows. Real advantage emerges when intelligence is grounded in an organization’s unique, proprietary content. As leaders move beyond early experiments, the priority becomes breaking down silos and establishing governance that ensures agents operate on a reliable foundation.

Join this interactive session to learn how to:

• Prioritize measurable growth beyond LLM hype
• Connect content to unlock meaningful AI performance
• Understand the monetary and labor opportunity costs of AI transformation

In an era of constant technology change, getting the human side right is what separates effective CIOs from the rest. As CEOs increasingly expect CIOs to lead digital change, culture becomes the real differentiator. This boardroom discussion will help you learn and share experiences with your peers around culture change and what it takes to drive success.

In this boardroom, we’ll discuss how to:

• Communicate a compelling narrative for change
• Address resistance with practical, actionable tactics
• Sustain momentum throughout transformation efforts

Connect with like-minded peers in a one-on-one setting through Peer-to-Peer Meetings. You will be matched with peers in your community based on your shared interests and priorities.

Many AI initiatives fail before they ever show value, but real progress often begins with small, unglamorous operational processes. This session explores how Generali Global Assistance automated a repetitive compliance and asset‑management workflow, saving hundreds of hours and strengthening cross‑functional alignment. The story highlights what worked, what didn’t, and how to scale meaningful automation across the enterprise.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:

• Identify high‑impact automation opportunities
• Build cross‑functional alignment for AI adoption
• Strengthen data foundations for scalable automation

As AI transforms IT operations, leaders face new challenges: finding the right talent, keeping remote teams engaged, and redefining what it means to build a future-ready bench. Let’s talk candidly about what’s working, what isn’t, and how we can help our people thrive in this new era.

In this boardroom, we’ll discuss how to:

• Identify and attract the human skills needed for AI success

• Rethink roles and retention for a remote, AI-augmented workforce
