WHICH IT STRATEGIES, PRIORITIES AND CHOICES TO FACE THE NEXT CHALLENGES

CIO Outlook Belgium is a yearly, exclusive conference-dinner aimed at exploring the major technology trends and business insights that will affect the CIO as corporate leader and strategic partner for the next challenges.

Ideally timed when IT priorities and investments are being finetuned for next year, it  brings a very exclusive group of CIOs, CDOs and CTOs from the country’s 100 largest IT organizations for an evening of careful observation and reflection on how economical, societal and technological forces are likely to impact the corporate organization and how CIOs should anticipate and respond to them.

The agenda will stress out AI amplification across the enterprise; Technology synergies to boost innovation; Search for new IT efficiencies; Agile practices to boost tech capabilities; Revisiting the CIO’s role and mandate; a.o.
