GATHERING THE CIO ELITE

Established in 2005, the CIO Executive Circle is the premier think-tank for Chief Information Officers and senior IT decision-makers from the Belux most significant organizations. The founding idea was to create a truly exclusive and content-based environment where extraordinary IT and digital leaders can get inspiring insights, challenge assumptions, and confront respective experiences on key technology adoption, business transformation and IT governance challenges in a private, off-the-record environment.
The Circle is also a highly collaborative place to stimulate new levels of thinking and explore how new technologies are exponentially catalyzing and amplifying one another, and how CIOs should best embrace them while reimagining their IT operating model, adapting their technology adoption journey, re-aligning investments, and delivering new customer experiences outside the conventional spheres.
The CIO Executive Circle is unique in that it maintains an unparalleled level of interaction and knowledge sharing. It delivers inspirations from real-world cases while fostering networking at the highest level with CIO peers from Belgium and abroad. Equally important is the Circle’s engagement to make the CIO function more accountable, better understood, and valued at its best.
The Circle is completely independent from any commercial or academical influence. Meetings are strictly held off-the-record and closed to the press and public. Membership is by personal invitation only.
