Executive Summit

As browser-based and unapproved tools reshape the future of work, CIOs and CISOs must enable innovation while maintaining governance, security, and compliance. The rise of “Shadow AI” demands unified strategies and collaboration to ensure visibility, control, and agility, keeping organizations resilient and adaptable.

Join this session to discuss:

• Operational, risk, and compliance impacts
• Unified policies for responsible enablement
• Collaboration for visibility, control, and agility

AI is transforming how organizations operate — from improving services to enabling autonomous decision-making. Yet innovation without security can expose sensitive data, models and systems to new threats such as prompt injection, model manipulation and data leakage.

Join this session to discuss:

• Building a unified platform that protects users, applications, agents and models
• Ensuring AI platforms operate with integrity, transparency and accountability
• Designing scalable AI systems that are secure by default

CIOs are under increasing pressure to deliver measurable value and must proactively evolve their IT operating models to drive enterprise objectives. However, a disconnect between a task-driven culture and an outcomes-oriented mindset can hinder sustained business growth.

Join this session to discuss with your peers:

• Assessing and realigning your IT operating model to support your organization’s digital vision and strategic goals
• Shifting from operational efficiency to models that boost business performance and enable enterprise-wide transformation
• Building stronger partnerships with business stakeholders and fostering collaboration for greater impact

Connect with like-minded peers in a one-on-one setting through Peer-to-Peer Meetings. You will be matched with peers in your community based on your shared interests and priorities.

AI is reshaping what it means to lead. As automation accelerates, how do you build trust, inspire cultural change, and empower your teams to thrive? Join IT & security leaders for a candid conversation on the leadership mindset and practical actions needed to guide your organization through AI-driven transformation.

In this session, we’ll discuss:

• Building trust and buy-in for AI adoption
• Shaping culture to embrace new ways of working
• Empowering talent through upskilling and social responsibility

As enterprises adopt platform models, cloud ecosystems, and agentic AI, control increasingly shifts away from centralized ownership. Executives must lead through intent, governance, and alignment rather than direct oversight. The ability to balance autonomy with accountability now defines effective leadership, execution, and resilience.

Join this boardroom discussion to explore:

• Setting guardrails that enable speed without sacrificing control
• Leading teams and systems when decision‑making is distributed
• Reinforcing accountability and trust across technology, security, and AI

Leaders striving for more data-driven decisions often face resource constraints and the need for organizational alignment. Success requires a strategic, business-focused approach that prioritizes data and analytics investments and engages stakeholders across the enterprise.

Join this boardroom session to explore:

• Actionable strategies for prioritizing D&A investments that deliver measurable business impact
• Engaging stakeholders organization-wide to build a resilient, outcome-focused D&A strategy
• Evolving data governance to power accuracy in reporting and analytics
