      Why attend? Hear from your peers:

      • “Useful for creating and explaining strategies, especially for aligning perspectives and building consensus with the board of directors on topics, such as in-house development, talent development and investment management. Also [the] conference is helpful to be able to reorganize the information obtained through reports and inquiries.”

        CIO, Retail

      • “I participated in order to gather information for formulating a three-year digital strategy and AI strategy. The workshop that linked our company’s strengths with our IT strategy was extremely useful, and the conference was also very meaningful as an opportunity for networking.”

        CIO, Energy

      • “The Research Discussion was extremely meaningful. I rarely have the opportunity to talk with people from other industries, so it was valuable to find common topics. Until now, my main purpose was to gather information, but I now feel that exchanging opinions is also very worthwhile.”
