It has never been a better time or a more challenging time to be a CIO. So many of the rising technology opportunities, like digital transformation, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data analytics offer the chance for CIOs to be in the middle of the discussion around topics of significant value to the enterprise. At the same time risks associated with security are also at the top of the agendas of many boards. Again, the CIO is one of the key drivers of risk mitigation, playing both offense and defense.
Finding faster paths to seizing opportunity and mitigating risks requires a better ecosystem. That ecosystem must include best in class, global CIOs, CEOs of leading technology firms, and venture capital companies. The best of the best of all three will be present for the third annual Forbes CIO Summit on April 23 and 24 at the Ritz Carlton at Half Moon Bay.
