2023 Forbes CIO Summit

When: April 11-12, 2023

Where: Dana Point, CA + Virtual

The 2020s began with great optimism. It was followed by a pandemic, a surge in inflation, an increase in interest rates, a war in Eastern Europe, a slowdown in economic growth in China, the changing nature of globalization, new supply chains, a shortage of labor, a crypto crash and a transition to energy interrupted by price spikes and shortages.

The new norm is constant change: CEOs and boards of directors worldwide prioritize excessive growth of sustainability. Data, understanding, forecasting, responsiveness, resilience, and trust will be the ingredients that determine stability – and, therefore, winners – in this next phase of change. Exceptional CIOs are the architects of the resilience needed to win.
