The CIO: The Year Ahead Summit underscores the vital importance of managing the forces of rapid technology change and business disruption with its theme of "Re-Architecting the Dynamic Enterprise." That process of rebuilding and enabling an ever-faster-moving enterprise calls for CIOs who are experts at managing technology for maximum value delivery. The conference agenda will deliver on those themes through a series of expert presentations, interactive discussions and workshops run by IT/business leaders from around the nation.  

Conference attendees can maximize their peer networking opportunities at The Year Ahead Summit by letting the CIO Executive Council connect you one-on-one with other CIOs to share insights on your most urgent topics. Sign up for Connecting Point when you process your conference registration, and our staff will pre-match you with at least one other IT leader attending the Summit based on common topics of interest. Meet your matches at our Connecting Point Kick-Off Reception Sunday afternoon and plan your time to talk one on one. This service is complimentary, open only to IT department leaders,  and exclusive to CIO magazine conferences.

The CIO: The Year Ahead Summit is also the place to meet the latest honored members of the CIO Hall of Fame, which now includes some of the most revered and recognized members of the CIO community.
