Taking on the Canadian Industries' Next Big Challenges

Technology no longer supports Canadian business organizations; it enables Canadian business organizations. IT now plays a critical role in such important initiatives as customer data protection and storage, customer service, compliance and more.

The CIO Canada Summit is designed to provide technology leaders with a unique opportunity to interface with like-minded individuals in a relaxed, but focused business atmosphere. Discussion topics are chosen by IT end-users to ensure that critical IT issues and trends are being explored throughout the event. The technology summit is packed with one-on-one executive exchanges, CIO case studies and engaging keynote speeches.

The CIO Canada Summit three-day agenda also includes:

  • Interactive thought-leadership workshops lead by industry analysts and IT end-users (not vendor product pitches)
  • In-depth Q&A sessions with peers facing similar IT challenges
  • Thorough business discussions with solution providers and tiered, structured presentations

Open dialogue is promoted in an effort to encourage strategy and idea sharing. With this in mind, the CIO Canada Summit includes numerous networking opportunities, both formal and informal. This allows attendees to further develop new and existing business relationships with peers and colleagues, and provides the priceless information sharing that can affect decision making in years to come. Discuss IT issues and solutions during social events, cocktail receptions and coffee breaks.
