The annual US CIO 100 Awards, now in its 27th year, celebrates 100 organizations and the IT teams within them that use technology in innovative ways to deliver business value, whether by creating competitive advantage, optimizing business processes, enabling growth, or improving relationships with customers. The award is an acknowledged mark of enterprise excellence.
Winners will be recognized at the CIO 100 Symposium & Awards at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess in Scottsdale, AZ, from August 11-13.
“The CIO 100 Awards recognize IT leaders who drive innovation, transformation, and business success through technology. With an exceptionally high caliber of submissions each year, winning a CIO100 Award is a true honor, highlighting the bold vision, strategic excellence, and groundbreaking impact of the most influential CIOs shaping the future of digital enterprise,” stated Elizabeth Cutler, Content Director, CIO 100 Symposium & Awards. A highlight of the event each year is when a new CIO class is inducted into the prestigious Hall of Fame. These executives have advanced the field through their work, their community involvement, and their focus on mentoring the next generation of IT leaders. I am honored to celebrate these accomplishments and showcase what IT innovation and exceptional leadership look like.”
This year’s featured keynote speakers include Meredith Whalen, Chief Research Officer at IDC, who will delve into sound strategies for a path to a fully AI-driven enterprise. Josh Linkner, Serial Entrepreneur, New York Times Bestselling Author, Venture Capital Investor and professional jazz guitarist, will use live jazz as a metaphor for collaborative innovation; this session will be entertaining, inspiring, and directly applicable to the daily challenges faced in business. Lastly, Dan Roberts, Host of the Tech Whisperers Podcast and CEO of Ouellette & Associates, will lead the Leadership Masterclass, featuring Hall of Fame inductees and a diverse cohort of award-winning CIOs.
