2025 theme: CIO leadership in an AI world
The role of the CIO has shifted from managing IT infrastructure to driving business strategy through technology. CIOs now leverage AI, automation, and analytics to enhance agility and value creation. With strong IT budgets projected into 2025, organisations continue investing in digital transformation. AI adoption is accelerating rapidly—89% of IT leaders are now exploring or using AI, up from 72% in 2023, highlighting its growing impact across business functions.
The 2025 conference will focus on how CIOs are leading in an AI-driven world. As GenAI scales across enterprises, leaders are building cloud-native, data-centric solutions while managing associated risks. The event will offer strategies for balancing innovation with security, featuring real-world insights to help organisations succeed with AI as a central IT priority.
