About the CIO Summit

ICT continues to act as a major force shaping and influencing business processes as well as our everyday lives. Join us at one of the foremost gatherings of CIOs and senior IT executives in Australasia, bringing together over 550 attendees to collaborate, connect, and inspire.

6 Years and counting

Now in its 6th year, the CIO Summit is a better investment than ever featuring:

  • Two full days of information, inspiration, collaboration and co-creation - you'll learn from us, from each other, and from some of the leading minds in technology.
  • Key themes that evolve to reflect changes in our personal lives, our society, economy and environment - cutting-edge content with far-reaching applications.
  • Get inspired by some of the global thought leaders joining us
  • Interact with the leading solution providers so you can gain a comprehensive understanding of what technologies are available, which are right for you, and how they shape up against the competition.

CIO Summit Value proposition

Transform Remarkable Ideas into Executable Plans
The generation and dissemination of ideas is critical. But as an executive, your end goal is solving a problem or creating a new opportunity.

Stretch Your Mind Beyond Accepted Definition of Possible
The daily grind requires the brain to be mostly analytical, to conform with the 'one right answer' requirements of business. But breakthrough innovations come from those who take the path less travelled.

Evaluate Alternative Approaches to Established Conventions
Business as usual no longer exists. Examine current assumptions and explore the possibilities outside them. Compare and contrast how companies have achieved success in different ways, with different models, and different mind sets.
