WELCOME! / Network & Learn with the CIO Community

The modern IT leader must navigate an ever-changing ever-growing minefield to be ahead of the curve. To deliver business value & reinforce an organisation’s posture, the CIO, CTO, CDO & CISO must have an impenetrable partnership alongside the full board. Including the new opportunities in the technology, overcoming cumbersome infrastructure, an increasing IT skill shortage, an acceleration of cyberattacks, steep rises in data & possibilities of what can come of it, & with many organisations experiencing mergers, demergers, or acquisitions, complexity is exponentially obscuring your path.

This September, 200 senior IT thought-leaders will gather for the unmissable opportunity to benchmark your progress & sense-check your strategies. Join us, to listen, learn & share your experiences & solve the most pertinent challenges of today.
