The CIO Europe Summit is a consortium of CIOs and Senior IT Executives from Large Fortune 500 Enterprise Organisations who are currently investing in innovative solutions that will positively impact their bottom line. The CIO group organizes highly interactive 3-day strategy sessions. The program topics for the summit are set entirely by IT executives.

The role of the modern Chief Information Officer is changing. In recent years the onset of the world financial crisis has led to ever growing responsibility for the CIO with an increasing number of CIOs playing a pivotal role in the organization's business health, well-being and success and carrying an elevated responsibility to the company, shareholders, customers and staff to ensure IT is aligned to work for the benefit of the Business.

The summit combines high-level roundtable discussions with next generation technology solutions that address the most pressing challenges the industry faces. The format is structured enough to effectively organize roundtable discussions on all the most pressing topics, but open enough to allow for changes that will inevitably occur when 65 industry leaders interact over 3 days. Some of the key discussion topics include:

        • Business Intelligence & Analytics
        • Enterprise Resource Planning
        • Enterprise Mobility
        • Social Media & Collaboration
        • Cloud Computing & Virtualisation
        • Data Centre Optimisation & Infrastructure
        • IT Security
        • Unified Communications

The CIO Summit has an advisory board called the CIO20. The purpose of the CIO20 is to set the program agenda for the summits and also to nominate potential participants.

This summit is invitation-only, which is why access to the website is password protected. If you would like to find out more about the program or attendees, please contact Paul Gibson.
