CIO Summit 2023 | Acceleration Economy Network | 2 April 2023 | Westin Kierland - Scottsdale, Arizona, 6902 E Greenway Pkwy, Scottsdale, AZ, USA

CIO Summit is two and a half days that will bring you elbow to elbow with pioneers that have moved beyond competing in the Acceleration Economy to thriving in it as they set the pace in their industries.

However, defining the why and how of driving business modernization is not without its people, business, technology and process challenges. This is where CIO Summit is uniquely different—we focus on the messy parts of the “Why & How” process by bringing practitioners together to discuss, debate and define the best path forward.

From Roadmap sessions to prepare you for the future to keynotes, fireside chats and breakout sessions to help modernize your business, every session, track and speaker is focused on sharing the good, the bad and the ugly of accelerating a growth strategy in the digital first world.

Created for practitioners, by practitioners, CIO Summit is not about whiz-bang tech or pie in the sky ambitions, it is about being curious and creating the future.
