Innovating during an economic recession is one tough assignment. It calls for quick thinking and risk taking. It calls for leadership strategies that produce real business value.

It calls for the creative, collective brainpower present at the 2008 CIO 100 Symposium.

Join an extraordinary group of your executive colleagues and business luminaries to recession-proof your IT/business strategy for the coming year. Driven by the theme of "The Innovation Imperative," this legendary event is a world-class gathering of the nation's most accomplished, forward-thinking IT/business leaders.

The CIO 100 Symposium, which also showcases the 2008 winners of the prestigious CIO 100 awards, delivers three days of highly focused problem-solving, peer exchange and expertise on the most effective strategies for delivering value and prospering during the economic downturn. From practical approaches to innovating in times of financial upheaval to in-depth sessions and case studies on evolving business models, customer strategies and new technology trends and solutions, the CIO 100 Symposium continues to forge a strong connection between innovative thinking and financial success.
