CIO Summit of America Summary -

The CIO Summit of America drew 200+ IT Leaders and Business Visionaries.

According to Dr. Howard Rubin, Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and other senior IT leaders have an unprecedented opportunity to leverage existing information technology investments to lower their organization’s overall operating expenses. Organizations that employ an optimal mix of technology investments to grow and protect their revenues and to reduce and avoid costs at a managed level of risk, can outperform their peers by 3%-to-5% of pretax profit margins, says Rubin. <read more>

About the Event

This one day event is designed exclusively for CEOs, CXOs and CIOs/IT leaders from the greater New York City area and surrounding states. Learn what your peers are doing and what experts are saying must be done to survive in these difficult times. Learn the steps you must take to be ready for the coming economic turnaround.

Evaluate the Business Climate

  • How can CIOs in this economic climate provide the leadership that delivers short and mid term top and bottom line results?
  • What leadership do CEOs expect from their CIOs?
  • What are you doing now that will position the business and IT to jump ahead of your competition as the economy starts to improve?
  • What strategic, operational, and cultural changes must CIOs drive to be successful?
  • Do you have a strategy that fosters your career development and builds your brand?

Plot Your Next Steps Using Expert Guidance

  • Learn what your peers are doing and what experts are saying needs to be done to flourish in this global, competitive, and cross-functional environment.

  • Learn from world-class thought leaders such as Keynote Speaker Dr. Howard Rubin. His research in technology economics revealed that typical executive-suite reflexive behaviors, which reduce IT spending in times of revenue stress, actually inhibits business/economic recovery. On June 8th, Dr. Rubin reveals more of his findings including that in times of poor company, country and global economic performance that "IT Does Matter - IT Matters Now". The nation's infrastructure is no longer just highways/harbors, roads/rail and airports/aerospace. It is tech-heavy, encompassing broadband, technology innovation, technology investment, and technology talent development. If used properly, IT can be the ultimate lever to help achieve positive company and country economic performance.

  • Discuss with top search executives from Russell Reynolds, Spencer Stuart, Korn/Ferry and Heidrick & Struggles what the Chairman, CEO, COO or CFO is looking for in a CIO. What’s on their top 10 list? Our panel of senior executive recruiters will share the directives they hear from their clients and how it applies to you. Building your personal brand is a key element of career success. What does it mean, how is it developed and what do you need to do to have an outstanding personal brand? Attend to learn how your personal brand can have a significant impact on your career.

Registration is Complimentary for Qualified Executives. See the registration page for details.
