Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo 2021 - Orlando | Gartner | 18 October 2021 | Virtual Event

The center of technology, business, strategy and inspiration
CIOs and IT executives joined Gartner experts virtually, over four days to share valuable insights on creating a composable business, leading during disruption, smarter spending, cybersecurity and much more. Attendees explored how to shape technology to respond to adversity and build resilient organizations. The conference offered the tools, insights and advice needed to create a composable business - a playbook for accelerating digital business - to deliver resilience and agility during a time of crisis.
At the conference, the top 5 priorities that CIOs and IT executives met on included:

• Culture and People
• Data and Analytics Strategies and Solutions
• Security and Risk Management
• CIO Leadership Strategy
• Sourcing, Procurement, and Vendor Management Strategies

The program for the 2021 Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo in Orlando, FL, is underway and we look forward to sharing details shortly.

Business
Exploit the combined forces of data, analytics and artificial intelligence to deliver business value in and beyond the enterprise. Recognize the value of customer, citizen and employee experience in the business value proposition for digital business success.

Technology
Create information and technology operating models that are agile, responsive and innovative. Lead digital business success by using digital design practices.

Inspiration
Defy conventional thinking during times of uncertainty to emerge as a winner. Start with culture change when embarking on digital transformation, instead of waiting to address it later.
