Redefine What It Means to Be CIO
Info-Tech LIVE 2026: Keynote Presentation
What does it mean to be a CIO in an ever-changing technology landscape?
Over the last decade, the CIO role has expanded dramatically. But most of the advice CIOs receive hasn’t kept pace with what’s changed. The challenge CIOs face today isn’t about working harder, adopting another framework, or chasing the next trend. It’s about redefining what it means to be effective as a CIO in this environment.
This keynote from Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Las Vegas explores the challenges of being a technology leader during a period of increasing tech changes.
