The role of the CIO is evolving from technical expert to leading business executive with technology insight and abilities. This evolution means that every CIO has the need for real-time education and feedback on workforce management, global expansion, emerging technologies and other trends – directly from peers who share these challenges. The CIO Global Forum offers an intimate venue to gain crucial insights from other CIOs through their successes and failures, and quickly garner actionable ideas.
While much larger than our first session in 2003, our mission remains keenly focused on the simple notion of giving back to the CIO community by providing an open venue for real collaboration and sharing relevant insights on issues and trends in information technology and beyond.
The CIO Global Forum is open to CIO and CXO participation only, enabling attendees to establish and enhance valuable relationships that create lasting value beyond the sessions themselves.
The CIO Global Forum offers an intimate venue to quickly gain crucial insights and actionable ideas from other CIOs through discussions of successes and challenges.
With sessions driven by recognized IT leaders and innovators, the Telwares CIO Global Forum provides an unmatched combination of education, career development, relationship building and proven best-practices discussion for each attendee to leverage far beyond the event.
Each agenda is a collaboration with Telwares, the Telwares CIO Advisory Board, our speakers, panelists and others who help drive content and moderate the two days. Topics can include crucial IT trends such as cloud computing, security, and social media or personal development topics such as CIO career trends and board participation.
To enhance the level of participant interaction and maintain focus, PowerPoint presentations are generally discouraged. Each agenda item is followed by a question-and-answer session, marshaling lively discussion in a peer-based open forum environment.
While the format is designed to promote healthy dialogue and exchange, each session is tightly managed to ensure schedule discipline and adherence.
