From examining strategies for Big Data platforms to navigating the shift in IT infrastructure, the upcoming CIO Strategy Meeting (January 30-31, 2017 in Los Angeles) will cover just about every obligation and challenge that today’s CIO, CTO, and SVP of IT faces.

Prior to the meeting, our NCS Madison team works closely with each facilitator to determine the topic that most intently matches their interests, specialties, and/or expertise. From there, additional CIOs, CTOs, and SVPs are then invited to identify sessions that closely align with their current priorities and planned initiatives. This way, as our unique format has proven time and time again, everyone finds value in an environment conducive to sharing their experiences and needs.

The esteemed facilitators leading the charge in the CIO Strategy Meeting group discussion sessions are among the top Fortune 500 thought leaders in the field. Coming from a variety of industries, these fellow IT leaders bring years of insight and implementation to the table.
