The MIT Sloan CIO Symposium is the nation's premier CIO event bringing together information technology executives from around the world and leading faculty from MIT. The annual event offers a day of interactive learning and thought-provoking discourse on the future of technology, best practices, and business that is not available anywhere else. It includes presentations, panels, networking and a closing reception.
This is the sixth annual MIT Sloan CIO Symposium. The program began in 2004.
Each year, the volunteers who plan the Symposium have two primary goals in mind. The first is to provide leading-edge content that addresses the changing role of the CIO. For example, this year's theme, Sustaining CIO Leadership in a Changing Economy: Optimize business processes and advance infrastructure to leverage virtualization and cloud computing technologies will focus on the core value propositions associated with global delivery models, emerging capabilities, and best practices in selection, design and deployment of virtualization and cloud computing.
Keynote presentations and panels all cover different aspects of the topic, based on the insights and firsthand experience of respected executives who are already shaping the current and future CIO role.
The second goal is to help participants minimize time away by providing practical education and peer networking in a convenient, one-day format.
The MIT Sloan CIO Symposium is designed by the organizing team from the MIT Sloan Alumni Club of Boston, the MIT Center for Digital Business and the Boston Chapter of the Society for Information Management. Many of them are listed on the left.
Using knowledge from personal experience and the expertise of the academicians at MIT Sloan School of Management, conference organizers have access to vital information and a network of expert business leaders to draw from, which allows them to foster thought-provoking discussions and facilitate peer networking for their fellow executives.
The Symposium is part of the CXO Series produced by the alumni club, along with MIT Sloan, including the MIT Sloan CFO Summit.
The MIT Sloan CIO Symposium attracts 700 senior-level IT decision makers at MIT in a day of networking, spirited discussion and informative discourse concerning today's business and technology issues.
