Dear Colleagues,

Thank you for your interest and participation in the Atlanta CIO Executive Summit, built “by CIOs, for CIOs.” Now in its eighth year, this renowned conference continues to attract the leading IT executives in our region, fostering a collaborative environment where together we break old molds and challenge one another to new heights in leadership.

Not exempt from our national economic hardships, our Southeast region has fought hard to maintain stability. And today we round a corner as we gather in Atlanta, a powerhouse ranking fourth in the number of Fortune 500 companies headquartered within city boundaries.

The CIO Executive Summit provides the ideal setting for strategic networking with our peers from the largest organizations throughout the Southeast. Together we will share best practices, glean leadership insights and dive into the immediate issues facing us all as enterprise CIOs in 2013. We are confident that you will come away inspired, energized and equipped.

On behalf of the entire Governing Body, we look forward to meeting with you.

Sincerely,

Your 2013 Governing Body Co-Chairs
