8:45am - 9:30am Keynote
The ROI of Creativity
Hosted by Citrix Systems, Inc.
Noah Scalin
Artist, Innovation Consultant
Guest Speaker
The World Economic Forum named creativity one of the top must-have skills for success in all industries. It is the key to thriving in this era of rapid innovation and change. But very few organizations have truly invested in the development of this essential capability. Why? Because creativity is considered too intangible to measure, too messy to fit into a strategic plan or simply something that is only for a few specially talented people. In this engaging presentation, Artist/Author Noah Scalin pulls back the curtain on his own creative practice to explain the real ROI of creativity.
In this session, we will learn:
- Why creativity is a crucial skill for fostering innovation at your organization
- How to use creativity strategically for long-term impact
- Simple strategies that anyone can use to innovate, grow and inspire others

The Supply Chain Attack Surface
Hosted by SentinelOne
Chris Boehm
Chief Cybersecurity Strategist
SentinelOne
Christine Vanderpool
VP, IT Strategy, Architecture & CISO
Florida Crystals Corporation
Dwayne Allen
Chief Technology Officer & Senior Vice President
Unisys
Supply chain based attacks continue to be on the rise. Attackers always choose the easiest path. Today, it’s often done by first compromising one of the end targets suppliers and then abusing that trusted relationship that they have to target an organization. What are you most likely to open; an unknown email from an unknown sender with an attachment, or an invoice from your favorite supplier?
Join this boardroom to explore:
- Strategies to implement with your TPRM program
- Case studies for remediation processes
- Opportunities for change that will have the biggest impact
Executive boardrooms are intimate and interactive sessions designed to foster dynamic dialogue around a specific, strategic topic. These private, closed-door discussions encourage attendee participation and are limited to 15 attendees (seating priority is given to CIOs & CISOs).
