The New Breed of CIO

You are invited to join United Business Media and Smart Enterprise Magazine — hosted in conjunction with CA, Inc.— for an exclusive CIO Smart Enterprise Exchange.  In this executive peer-to-peer CIO event, we will examine the changing role of the CIO from technology executive to digital business leader. This is the ideal forum to exchange ideas with your peers, while interacting with experienced business and technology experts on what it will take to succeed as a CIO in the year ahead.

We will examine the new expectations for the Office of the CIO, the business drivers behind those expectations, and how to make the requisite leap from business technologist to innovation strategist, including:

• The business impact of globalization and digitalization
• Profiles of successful CIOs and what CEOs want from CIOs
• The new IT leadership skills and competencies
• Fusing technology and business: the CIO as a business strategist
• The CIO as innovator and visionary
• Natural progression paths for the CIO

Learn how and why the expectations for the CIO are changing, will continue to change, and what it takes to be viewed as a true driver of business. The format of the event is a Senior IT Peer Exchange where you can interact with some of the brightest, most visionary minds on The New Breed of CIO.
