WSJ CIO Network Summit 2021 | The Wall Street Journal | 21 September 2021 | Online

When the CIO Network next meets in September 2021, the U.S. business community should mostly be back to normal. But after the dislocation, innovation, accelerated digitization and extraordinary adaptation of the pandemic months, normal won't ever be what it once was. In this new world, how can CIOs maximize their impact as business leaders? And what new trends in technology will help get them to their goals?

The CIO and the Next Horizon
The pandemic sped digitization across the company and often gave the CIO a larger voice in shaping corporate priorities. Now that business is beginning to return to a new normal, how can that momentum be maintained? What is the next wave of change likely to look like and how can CIOs maximize their positions as agents of change.

The Shape of Innovation to Come
Inventors, technologists and tinkerers are all chasing the next breakthrough. What kind of step-change ideas are knocking at the door?

Cyber Insecurity
Let’s face it: Nation-state hackers are running roughshod over U.S. agencies, institutions and companies. SolarWinds, Russia intruding into U.S. elections, China stealing government personnel data and corporate secrets: Companies can’t take on the PLA, the FSB or the North Korean intelligence service. What’s the new administration in Washington plan to do differently to keep enterprises safe and make it more painful for nation states to hack the U.S.?
