IDC's Asia/ Pacific CIO Summit

IDC's Asia/ Pacific CIO Summit is recognized as the foremost gathering of CTOs and Senior IT executives and provides thought provoking and actionable insights through a mix of presentations and case studies. CIOs will have the opportunity to hear about the latest global trends and learn from ICT best practices.

Differentiating and Get the Winning Formula

Are CIOs becoming less relevant? For many organisations, the adoption of Cloud, virtualisation and AaaS (Applications as a Service) plays are leading CFOs and CEOs to question the strategic value of the CIO. As these new technology solutions sweep through organisations, many CIOs are threatened by their inherent utility computing philosophy that threatens to turn IT into simply another utility cost.

Who should Attend?

Quality attendance comprising of between 80 - 100 CIOs plus high-level decision makers from a cross-section of industries will attend the CIO Summits around the region. 


Insightful organisations however realise that the true value of the CIO comes from driving strong alignment between the IT strategies and technologies and the business goals of the enterprise. Organisations that successfully harness this relationship become true leaders in their market. The Summits will share winning tactics and strategies that have driven greater IT business relevancy and provide a showcase for emerging technologies and approaches to the perennial business problem of how to get more productivity and better service my customers without breaking the bank.
