The 2026 agenda delivers the latest technology, strategy and leadership insights most critical to CIOs and their teams.
Agentic AI is redefining automation and digital work with autonomous, learning agents. CIOs must pilot risk-appropriate use cases, build staged autonomy roadmaps, embed governance-by-design and upskill teams to ensure safe, measurable adoption with robust controls, observability and oversight.
AI technology demands resilient data foundations, composable architectures and security-centric design. CIOs must balance buy/build decisions, invest in talent, and integrate observability and TRiSM to scale AI safely across platforms and domains.
Prepare for the next era of CIO and executive leadership. Harness AI to lead more strategically and manage less. Gain practical insights from case studies, balance change with continuity and secure a lasting seat at the C-suite table by driving rapid, impactful results.
Anticipating disruption means evaluating the impact of emerging technologies on your organization. CIOs must identify adoption timelines, assess business value and integrate technology trend insights into strategic planning to maintain a competitive edge.
IT operating models are the engine of digital transformation. CIOs must align models to enterprise ambition, balance governance with agility and AI, and empower cross-functional teams to ensure IT delivers measurable business outcomes, adapts continuously and drives growth.
Strategic planning and execution means more than setting direction. CIOs must unite IT and business, integrate AI for measurable outcomes, address change fatigue with structured management and orchestrate agile plans, governance and talent to deliver sustained business value.
