The programme is driven by our senior level Advisory Board including representatives from TNT, Henley Business School, Fox Networks Group, US Department of Defense and Wyndham Group.

The Future of Work is not all plain sailing

As the demand for digital skills in the UK continues to grow there are two main challenges. How do we reskill our current staff and how do we increase the size of the pipeline of digital skills overall? Perhaps more challenging is how the working paradigm is changing. The workplace can enforce ways of working which is alien to millennials. Their expectations are different to people who have been in the workforce for longer. Getting the most from new joiners to the workforce is now the major challenge to the on-going success of any business.

Going Beyond the Hype - Why Artificial Intelligence Changes Everything

Artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing our world and how we as a society interact with it. AI has extended the human capability to offer solutions to challenges, both simple and complex, from influencing shopping behaviors to solving complex medical problems, optimizing operations and putting autonomous vehicles on the roads. Every industry is rapidly being re-shaped, and new leaders will emerge. In this session we will discuss the impact AI is having on business, the competitive advantages that this emerging technology can bring and the repercussions of being left behind.

Words from our attendees

  • The CIO Event is a truly global event with international perspectives on current IT trends. These include the usual Social, Mobile, Cloud, Security, 'Internet of Things', Big Data/Analytics, Etc. It's somewhat unique in its format in that it provides keynotes, one-to-one meetings, workshops and open areas for discussions. Its strength also lies in the networking of its attendees both at the events and between times through social media environments such as LinkedIn.
