OVERVIEW
Gartner research shows that 80% of CEOs are increasing digital technology investments to counter current economic pressures, including inflation, scarce talent and supply constraints. Of course, CIOs and other technology executives will be tasked with executing digital IT strategy. Despite many in-progress digital initiatives, few are yet delivering the digital dividends that senior leadership expects.
As technology becomes the key differentiator for all organizations operating in the digital-first world, the spotlight is being shone on the technology leadership function. Carrying the theme of “Defining Technology Leadership in a Digital-first World’’, this premier annual CIO event will bring together 150+ CIOs, Digital and Business executives to discuss strategies and plans in driving digital transformation and to showcase how game-changing CIOs and tech leaders are building and securing the next-generation agile digital enterprises to accelerate growth.
