Join two of the most distinguished GB athletes ever, Moe and Emma, as they share their journeys to greatness and the resilience they have honed in the face of losing, that will resonate with every C-suite leader.

Considering your next career move? Of course you are.

Whether next year or in 10 years, the potential of a technology C-suite leader to evolve into different leadership positions has never been greater, thanks to the outright importance of technology as an enabler of business. Learn how these executives made their moves beyond the IT function and what that means for you.

The gap between technology and talent is becoming a gulf. Whether it's the quantity of talent (or lack thereof) impacting hiring strategies or growth margins, or the quality of individuals due to piecemeal higher education, partly as a result of Covid policies, innovation could be squandered if the right people are not in place to work it.

A new approach is needed; but what?

Although momentum is in favour of diversity and inclusion, for many some trends are stubbornly too slow. What specific issues aren't being addressed fast enough and given many require systemic change, where should we start—or continue?

Not innovation since the invention of the internet has the potential to reshape society as we know it quite like AI. We are not quite there yet—but we're close. Discover what key technology leaders are thinking, doing and solving now when it comes to advanced machine learning, and what that means for when AI is truly with us.

Why does a circular economy matter? As a society, we are using more natural resources than our planet can regenerate. We can't keep taking without giving. A circular economy looks beyond the current take-make-waste model and aims to redefine growth by focusing on positive society-wide benefits. But how viable is the model, seen by some as little more than a utopian concept, across industries, organisations and their extensive supply chains? And what does it mean for IT leaders and their teams now at the forefront of the sustainability and ESG agenda?

It is, arguably, the most important skill required of any leader: prioritisation. At a time of social, political and environmental change, however, where the CEO, CFO and Boards are wanting everything prioritised—apart from your vision for the tech-stack—what tools, techniques, technologies or even tricks, help focus you and your team's energy where it is needed most?

Hybrid working is a grand experiment, one many businesses, however, are struggling to test, control or even garner results for. As certain strategies aim to encourage workforce cohesion amidst distribution, what should C-suite leaders prioritise and why?

It has been said that 99% of cyberattacks have some human element. From opening phishing emails and unknowingly launching malware, through to the vulnerability of using shared or weak credentials, human error can result in everything from fraudulent financial transactions and data breaches to hefty regulator fines and brand reputation damage.

So how can organisations, led by responsible CIOs, CTOs and CISOs, build resiliency in people and products, minimise risk and make security a seamless part of employees and customers’ digital experiences?

From efficiency gains and cost control to developing new products, achieving faster time-to-market and delivering on ESG goals, the value of cloud has long differed by organisation, industry and technological maturity.

However, cloud’s value has shifted through an unstable 2023. The economic downturn, when combined with environmental pressures and significant skills shortages, is putting CIOs and CTOs under pressure to leverage cloud to drive greater business agility and differentiation…while delivering ROI faster than ever before.

In partnership with NTT Data

With most organisations working with up to eight different cloud providers, multi-cloud has become a reality for most CIOs and CTOs. And yet, despite the obvious benefits of additional resources, functionality and platform choice, deciphering multi-cloud’s value remains a work in progress, beset by concerns over cost control, data management, connectivity complexity, security, platform interoperability, skills, and system visibility.

Data is what fuels AI; therefore, you need to protect your data from unauthorizsed access, tampering, or leakage. Yet with new risks emerging all the time, from data manipulation to social engineering attacks, technology leaders must consider the balance between AI efficiency and security.

In partnership with Cisco

What are the defining features of your Operational Technology (OT) cyber strategies? How are you balancing focus on direct, indirect and supply chain attack threats? Is the C-suite financially and psychologically prepared for that inevitable data breach? What is the role of technology leaders in preparing executive peers for the worst to happen? And how are you detecting and responding to loT/OT threats? In this panel discussion, we investigate all of the above, and debate how businesses and industry can respond.

Often do we hear what leaders should do to protect a high-risk environment, but what about immediately after a breach? Watch and listen to technology and security leaders their experiences of the immediate aftermath of an attack—and what they don't tell you in all those webinars.

CIOs are working with up to eight different cloud providers, and yet the benefits of gaining best-of-breed services from different cloud service providers can often be negated by issues over interoperability, data egress, IT visibility and cost management.

By embracing multicloud by design, technology leaders can improve efficiencies, streamline innovation and create a competitive advantage and resilience for an uncertain future.

From the advent of distributed computing and the move from CAPEX to OPEX investments to the arrival of AI and the hybrid workplace, the nature of IT is changing – and with it the cybersecurity threat landscape.

Small wonder then that almost three-in-four (72%) IT business leaders have said that the changing working world exposes their organisation to even greater risk, with separate reports indicating that data breaches continue to rise.

Leading CIOs and CISOs debate how to keep up with the evolving threat landscape, adapt to a changing working world and modernise security at the speed of digital business.

Studies consistently show that for teams, diversity and success are highly intertwined. Are businesses and its leaders fully aware of this—and what does a visionary team mean anyway?
