In today's technological environment, the responsibility of the CIO is growing exponentially. From supporting revenue growth to improving the customer experience – via unveiling emerging opportunities in big data, analytics and mobile to name but a few – there's no doubting that the CIO of today faces numerous and often conflicting challenges.

Indeed, as the role continues to evolve from one of business support to business strategy, CIOs are being expected to bring more to the table than a mere focus on operations or process improvements. For the successful CIO, driving value creation and ensuring business transformations are met as standard.

Working on this premise, the CIO30 DACH combines intensely researched, content-rich programmes with an invitation-only delegation of C-level decision makers to drill to the core of the most pressing end-user challenges by utilising the knowledgebase of 30 thought leaders – uniting with our solution providers to not only sit at the centre of the conversation, but to proactively shape its foundations.
