CIO 3.0 – The Dynamics Facing Today’s CIOs and How to Plan for The Future   |  September 22, 2009  


Please join us for a live North American peer-to-peer roundtable discussion with CIOs in New York, Montreal, Toronto, Calgary, Washington, Vancouver and Halifax to discuss challenges facing today’s CIOs and how to survive today’s business climate.


Areas of discussion include:

  • What are today’s emerging global themes and the risks and implications facing CIOs?
  • How can CIOs start to lead in organizations and create value instead of acting as IT managers and cut costs?
  • How can we get better at aligning our activities with our peers? How can we bridge the gap between technology initiatives and business imperatives?

Executive Roundtable details:
Date: September 22nd
Time: 11:30 am EST to 3:00 pm EST
Location: The executive roundtable will be held at various Cisco offices in North America. Cisco TelePresence delivers a unique, "in-person" experience so you can meet people without travel, thus saving time as well as money. You can communicate and collaborate more effectively anytime, anywhere, with everyone.
