'Innovation, Leadership and Change -
What CEOs Want From The IT Organization'

Introduction to the Summit -

The 2008 CIO Leadership Summit will attract over 300 CIOs/IT leaders and C-level executives from the tri-state region.  The CIO and his team have a huge job to do.  Roles and responsibilities are forever changing.  The CIO is no longer the technology person.  CEOs want them to be business people first and foremost.  For these reasons, we have designed the program to span the needs of today’s CIO.

The Summit will start at 7:00 am with registration and close at 7:00 pm following a cocktail reception.  The event will utilize a combination of main sessions and 3 tracks.  Ample time will be allowed for networking.
