Denver CIO Virtual Executive Summit

Research shows that diverse teams are more innovative and productive, but it's no secret that IT and cybersecurity positions have a diversity shortage. It is imperative that leaders take responsible for promoting diversity and CIOs and CISOs are uniquely positioned to lead the organization in fostering inclusion. With the new hybrid workforce, the opportunity to cast a wider net in order to build diverse teams is a moment that should not be wasted.

Join this session to discuss:

• Accelerating innovation and business outcomes through the added advantage of having diversity and inclusion
• Path to creating a psychologically safe place at work
• The importance of establishing a support system to hire more diverse candidates

In a highly disruptive and digital environment, hyperautomation and agility are critical to the transformation and optimization of business operations.

Join this boardroom discussion to explore how CIOs are:

• Improving critical business processes with low-code automation platforms
• Leveraging talent across the business to enable scalable enterprise ready innovation
• Managing the pros and cons of democratized technology

You’ve done all the leg work of building a robust cloud strategy – business alignment, clear expectations, and the right partners. But taking the step from strategy to execution can bring your efforts to their knees. From decisions on control and configuration to data access and adoption, reaping the rewards of the cloud requires a systematic, comprehensive approach.

Join this session to discuss:

• The most successful approaches to driving rapid cloud adoption across the enterprise
• Collaboration across the C-suite on data ownership, cloud controls and cloud security
• Ongoing metrics to track the success of your implementation strategy

Smart organizations are infusing the intelligence of AI and the agility of hybrid cloud to better predict and shape future outcomes and automate decisions and processes. As a result, organizations can empower people to do higher value work and hyper-personalize digital experiences. However, only 2 of 10 firms have scaled AI solutions.

Join this boardroom to discuss:

• Preventing project stall due to data complexity, talent scarcity, and a lack of trust in AI systems
• Scaling AI across the organization with the right approach and architecture
• Leveraging AI technologies and data science tools to proactively optimize workflows and experiences

In 2020, the multi-decade process of turning the digital enterprise inside out accelerated instantly. We’ve now passed an inflection point – most cyber assets live outside the old “walls” of the organization and cybersecurity controls must be scalable, flexible and reliable. How are CIOs partnering with CISOs to establish a security strategy that is an enabler of the digital business rather than an obstacle?

In this interactive session, you’ll discuss:

• Redesigning cybersecurity architecture to enable the work-from-anywhere culture
• Foundational technologies to support a global cybersecurity mesh
• Re-conceptualizing traditional ideas of how to approach security within the enterprise and shifting the business mindset

Don't miss this opportunity to meet with CIO & CISO practitioners and industry thought leaders who shared their insights on the agenda. Come with questions and get ready to meet new friends in this casual session designed to foster peer connections and collaboration in the Denver community. 

Businesses have to be agile and innovative in order to successfully attain or maintain a competitive edge.  Yet, there remains a critical need for IT to provide developer friendly services, modern platforms delivered in optimum processes,  shift operations and security early in the software product lifecycle, governance around cost control, vendor management, data protection, and disaster recovery.  Modern IT Operations is about this very balance between innovation and governance — an operating model that integrates shared IT services with developer requirements ensuring that developers can drive the business forward without setting the stage for problems, breaches, and cost overruns down the road.

During this session, we will discuss:

• Shifting to modern and hybrid platforms that make your business more nimble and responsive
• Bridging the gap between internal groups to ensure IT Ops can deliver what developers need
• How IT operates in a hybrid cloud environment
• Modernize processes for security and operations governance
