It’s a long way from the desire to the reality of digital business. Every step needs to drive digital innovation to the core of your products, services and processes — while letting you stay focused on the bigger picture of what’s ahead. That’s where Gartner and the global community of CIOs at Symposium/ITxpo can help you to Lead 360: Drive digital to the core.

With hundreds of business and technology experts and thousands of CIOs and IT executives on hand, every connection presents an opportunity to ignite your digital transformation in unexpected ways: Expanding your mindset. Exploring ideas and opportunities beyond your current perspective. Accelerating your journey by revealing new strategic options and smarter decisions in every direction.

There is no single, perfect path to digital leadership. But there is a roadmap to lead the way — from the core to the edge. Join us in Orlando to experience it firsthand.

Get ready to make digital workLike many CIOs, you may have reached a crossroad. You need practical, actionable advice to drive digital to the core of your products, processes and talent. But also you need a fresh perspective on emerging technologies to anticipate where digital business will go next.

Bring your toughest questions and digital challenges to Symposium/ITxpo. You’ll find answers and expertise in every direction, surrounded by thousands of CIOs, like yourself, who are making digital work with Gartner’s help.

With more than 1,100 technology and business analysts in 90 countries, Gartner is where CIOs turn for proprietary research, independence and objectivity.

Everyone carves their own path to digital leadership

This year’s theme is about leading 360: expanding your viewpoint to see further and explore deeper as a panoramic thinker and leader.

“2016 should be the year for digital

tenacity for CEOs and their CIO co-pilots.”

Mark Raskino, Vice President and Gartner Fellow, Gartner Research


Exclusively for CIOsThe CIO Experience at Symposium/ITxpo is a recommended agenda of exclusive keynotes, workshops and roundtables designed for eligible CIOs. It’s an opportunity to connect with a select community of experienced CIOs who come from various industries and organizational sizes and who face similar challenges in digital transformation.

Luncheon keynotes: Just for the CIO Experience

Frans Johansson is the author of “The Medici Effect” and “The Click Moment,” both of which explore how great ideas happen. Johansson’s interest in the power of diversity led him to research its effect on global competitiveness. In the process, he developed a roadmap for any company that wants to drive innovation, growth and profitability through diversity.

Pat Riley is the third most-winning NBA coach and now president of the Miami Heat franchise. While it’s become a cliché to say that “there is no ‘I’ in team,” Riley brings the reality of teamwork to life — offering cautionary and strategic insights on withstanding pressure and sacrificing individual goals for the greater good.

Finding the right agenda is easy. Simply identify your key priorities and let us recommend the most relevant sessions. Or choose one of four CIO journeys — a series of curated sessions aligned to your current role and career stage:

Aspiring CIO: Acquire the leadership skills, technical know-how and business acumen needed to lead a diverse team.

New CIO: Gain in-depth, practical advice to help you excel in your first 100 days, keep existing technology running and plan for the future.

Strategic operations CIO: Focus on enhancing day-to-day operations, optimizing IT assets and delivering business performance.

Business strategist CIO: Find ways to work with other C-suite leaders to create and sustain a digital competitive advantage.

Choose your priority and you’ll find a relevant track ready to take your journey a significant step forward.

All CIOs and IT leaders have unique goals and challenges around two key areas: aligning to their CEOs’ business priorities and advancing their careers, digital roadmaps and organizational influence.

Gartner Symposium/ITxpo helps you address both, with a flexible, accessible agenda mapped to your top priorities and anchored in three key areas: Technology and Information, Leadership, and Business Strategy.

Recognized among the most influential individuals in their industry or field, Mastermind keynote speakers shed light on the future in their own way, exploring leadership, pivotal IT issues, resistance to change and the mindset needed to transform organizations. This year’s guest speakers are unorthodox thinkers who offer a unique, commanding vision of what it takes to lead and thrive in a digital world.

It takes boldness to rethink the way we lead

Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, is transforming the agility and leadership style of one of technology’s longest running successes. As an early evangelist of cloud, he shares his thoughts on the recent acquisition of LinkedIn and on outthinking and outmaneuvering the marketplace.

Robert Gates, former secretary of defense, has built a reputation for rattling cages and driving change into and throughout massive institutions. He discusses the pragmatic passion it takes to lead and transform entire organizations — despite massive push-back.

MASTERMIND KEYNOTES


Signature Series sessions challenge you to think and lead panoramically, anticipate disruptive forces and stay steps ahead. You’ll hear Gartner’s top predictions, strategic technology trends and CEO perspectives — before anyone else.

Maverick sessions unsettle, provoke and inspire — often predicting key trends and technologies years ahead of the curve. View technology through a fresh lens, particularly where it intersects with decision making and politics on the path to digital leadership.
