Looking to the Future – Lessons Learned from 2020

Executives were forced to pivot quickly to move their organizations to a remote environment, transforming business models over night. Throughout the year CIOs and CISOs have transformed their roles, stepping up to lead core business strategy as organizations reframe their objectives.
Join your CIO and CISO peers to discuss:
- Lessons learned from 2020
- Reframing CIO and CISO leadership roles alongside business strategy
