CIO Network Summit 2024 | The Wall Street Journal | 12 February 2024 | TBA, Palo Alto

During the last year, many CIOs have lived two realities: cutting costs as part of corporate America’s year of efficiency, while working to understand the potential business impact of generative artificial intelligence.

When The Wall Street Journal’s CIO Network meets in February, we’ll hear from leading CIOs and prominent AI executives who are thriving in this reality by thinking beyond technology goals to drive real business value–through AI, digital transformation, cybersecurity and much more.

Some of the key themes that we’ll explore include:
• How CIOs can lead with clarity on artificial intelligence, amid the rapid innovations, recent leadership volatility and ongoing concerns about risks and regulatory compliance
• How higher interest rates and greater fiscal conservatism are changing the way that companies assess technology investments in cloud, AI and other areas
• How CIOs can move beyond being enablers of innovation to true drivers of change, innovation and business transformation
• How geopolitical tensions could upend technology supply chains and increase cybersecurity risks.
