Today’s bold CIOs are rewriting the rules of business transformation, and they’re doing it in real time, under real pressure, with real stakes. Join us to hear from a select group of courageously innovative technology leaders who will share the successes that are moving their organizations forward, along with the learn-from-failure moments that are reshaping their playbooks. These leaders help stakeholders rethink everything, from culture and talent, to how we work and architect the future of the business, to leveraging new operating models and technology strategically. No theory. No platitudes. No pretenders. Just practitioners speaking to practitioners, with candor, humility, and practical wisdom you can use to lead your team and company through transformation in the age of AI.

For organizations that have moved beyond pilots, the challenge isn’t whether to invest in AI—it’s how to scale responsibly and prove sustained business impact. CIOs are under pressure to show measurable outcomes, optimize costs, and integrate AI into core processes without disrupting operations. This panel will open the playbooks of successful CIOs to dive into strategies for moving from experimentation to enterprise-wide adoption, building frameworks for ROI, and ensuring AI initiatives deliver competitive advantage rather than isolated wins.
Enjoy lunch with fellow leaders, and connect with our sponsors to explore solutions that can support your most pressing challenges.
Every executive believes data matters. Fewer agree on what to do about it and even fewer get it right. In this session, C-level leaders share how they are elevating data from a fragmented technical asset into a trusted, enterprise-wide advantage. The discussion focuses not only on tools or architectures, but on leadership decisions: how to set a clear data strategy, establish effective security and compliance without slowing the business, and build a culture where data is understood, trusted, and used to build business value. Drawing on real-world lessons from complex environments, the panel will explore how CIOs are aligning data strategy with business outcomes, risk, and growth; bridging executive intent with operational reality; and building data literacy as a leadership capability, not a specialist skill.
