Where do you experience your light bulb moments? You know, those rare gems that can completely change the course of your company’s future? Or your life. Probably not when you’re up to your eyeballs in budgets and forecasts. That’s why we’re inviting you to step away from everything and focus on what really matters.
Growth. Innovation. Your career. The CIO Event has one obsessive aim: to create an environment that sparks ideas, where you’re guaranteed to learn something new. It could be a new approach to a difficult market. A new business idea in an existing sector. A different slant on an old problem. A perspective you've seldom considered before. Or an honest account of how badly something went wrong. We’re seeking out all of the above, to give you a completely refreshing experience.
Let’s talk about the atmosphere I’m going to invite you to paint a mental picture. There’s a buzz in the air. You’re in a room alive with creative energy and you’re surrounded by a fascinating group of individuals. Many of them lead some of the world’s most inspiring companies. Others are here because they've made brave business moves that catapulted their businesses forward. Some are old friends, others new acquaintances. But they’re all people you’re excited to meet. And you’re surprised at just how many people you've had a chance to meet. And how frank and open everyone has been. If you had to put your finger on it, you’d probably sum it up as being highly personal. Intimate event. From the quality of the discussion to the inviting comfy sofas - everything has just screamed at you to open up, and that effect seems to have worked on everyone. You’ve heard your fellow leader be more candid than ever before and boy has that been interesting… Back to here and now. I hope this has given you a flavour of what you can expect on 14th April 2015.

A Format to Stir Things Up Presentations - Only when there’s some thing really interesting to say Panels - When several opinions are better than one Round tables - To allow those sparks to catch fire Candid in the extreme - Leaders sharing their worst mistakes of the last 12 months
Who You’ll Meet CIO's and IT Directors who share your aspirations to drive results, growth and profitability through technology. Those who are pushing the boundaries, taking their companies forward in new, unexpected ways. Every attendee is hand selected. As each speaker or attendee signs up, we ask them who else they’d like to meet, which companies they admire. Their recommendations then become the next people we contact.

To ensure the event never veers away from it’s goal of delivering a personal, trusted environment, we find the optimal size is 80 people. It's about quality rather than quantity.
Networking: The No 1 Priority It would be a crime to gather together such a group, and not give them enough time to get to know each other properly. From a speaker dinner on the 14th April, right through to the gala dinner on the 15th, you’ll find the programme full of time to relax and exchange ideas.
An Event Built Around You Everything about the CIO Event is built on Attendee feedback. The programme, the speaker panel, the audience, even the suppliers. We specialise in bringing the most game changing, innovative solution providers to your attention. The only vendors we approach are either recommended by you, or they’ve come to light through our own detailed search for thought leaders, disruptors and boutique advisors on the subjects under discussion at the event. Tell us who you want to meet and we’ll make those meetings happen. Tell us who you don’t want to meet, and we’ll steer clear. The success of our financial model rests on the quality of these meetings, which means we’re not in the business of introducing people who don’t want to be introduced. Expect to find a refreshing list of businesses to select from, and an open, illuminating exchange with those you choose to meet.

Establishing Parameters and Measurability of Agility
ARMCHAIR INTERVIEW: Digital Strategy and Governance
Agility is becoming a widely used term but is it measureable and achievable? Does the measurement come in the shape of customer satisfaction of new products?
A candid, open interview with a top100 CIO…too good to be true? This is a unique opportunity to hear, first-hand, an independent analyst interviews an industry leader to delve deeper into the questions surrounding developing and successfully executing a digital strategy, such as; - How can the CIO be a role for culture change? - Effective stakeholder engagement - Governance and process challenges - Consolidation and harmonisation
The boardroom provides an open, relaxed discussion forum to allow the group to throw ideas around without fear of being recorded, quoted or held to ransom! In order to prevent security breaches and serious threats, the industry needs to collaborate and be free to share…this is the only place you can do it.
This session will allow you to develop a firm idea of what agility means for your business and whether the benefits lie in agile processes or technolgies…or both! You will also discuss and debate the opportunistic advantages of being flexible and capitalising on short term trends and

Achieving Agility through Innovative Cloud Software
PANEL: Identifying where technology can provide new business opportunities
Is cloud computing finally a bona fide business strategy, versus an IT optimisation strategy? Business agility has become the primary advantage being delivered by cloud but how do you know what platform is right for your organisation?
Technology is an enabler rather than a driver for digital transformation but it is still an important piece of the puzzle. This panel of thought leaders will discuss;

Putting Agility at the Forefront of Your New Digital Strategy
Our Digital Transformation Case Study
Discovering opportunities to improve agility comes hand in hand with developing an emergent strategy.
Digital transformation isn’t only about the ‘front end’ of your business.
This workshop will explore ideas around agility for I nnovation and differentiation and how organisational structure can be adapted to allow for more agility. David will also discuss the development of the new digital strategy itself, incorporating collaboration internally, externally and effective communication of the strategy
Unless you can link this with the rest of your operations using digital technologies you run the risk of setting customer expectations that your business cannot fulfil.
You will have the freedom to set your own agenda on the day but there is a loose schedule, broken into 5 parts, that that our boardroom leaders have helped to shape INTRODUCING YOUR BOARDROOM COMMITTEE…

Lean Data Management It’s a significant task to feed your ERP system with the data required to run your business. Collecting, validating, and entering data is often done manually through cumbersome interfaces across multiple channels. With the explosion in data growth rates, the room for errors and more delays is only getting bigger. All of this increases costs and creates risk exposure. Learn how, by applying lean techniques with continuous improvement, you can rapidly standardise and improve your ERP data management processes. Eliminating waste and reducing data management costs.
