New York CIO Executive Summit

Governing Body members host this dinner for attendees to launch the event with an evening of peer networking.

There is no doubt that the workplace has undergone an unprecedented transformation. Organizations are taking their own unique approach to the future of work. CIOs play a critical role in this new environment to find a balance between productivity, security, sustainability, culture and wellbeing. Join this session to learn how CIOs can provide flexibility and agility to future proof their business.

Specifically, this session will cover:

• Leading a diverse and inclusive workplace through culture, process and technology
• How business transformation is forcing CIOs to think differently about security prevention
• Inspiring future sustainability ideas and how these can be technology driven

Sustainability is a business imperative, and competitive advantage lies with companies that develop a winning sustainability strategy – encompassing environmental, social and governance. By embracing flexible and remote work models, underpinned by more-scalable and lower-emissions infrastructure like virtualization and cloud, in tandem with energy-efficient thin-client devices—businesses can reduce their carbon footprint while benefiting from happier staff and improved productivity.

Join this session to discuss:

• Leveraging technologies at the convergence of corporate social responsibility standards and business goals
• Design principles to improve end-to-end sustainability and minimize impact
• Attracting and retaining talent through sustainability measures and resilient digital workplaces

Navigating the talent pool in a post-pandemic work environment has CIOs seeking out solutions to engage their teams and build up new talent. With employee expectations at an all-time high, CIOs are finding now is the time to get creative.

Join this interactive session with CIOs to debate and collaborate on building teams through various scenarios including:

• Keeping the right people – thinking beyond just retention 

• Mentoring a multigenerational workforce – creating operational excellence

• Exploring employee potential – diversifying skill sets

The tech talent draught is more serious than ever. Not only are there five million more job openings than unemployed workers in the United States, but more than one million engineers are expected to retire in the next four years. Where do organizations turn when digital partners are facing attrition and staffing challenges themselves?

Join this session to discuss:

• Identifying modern sourcing strategies that rebalance the workforce and drive employee engagement

• Working hand in hand with vendors to ensure extended teams are engaged in the long-term

• Rising interest in co-managed digital hubs to keep extended teams engaged
