About

  • The CIO&Leader Conference, now in its 19th year, is the marquee conference of large enterprise CIOs of the country. 

    This year, the conference will start on Friday, 10th August and will be on till Sunday, 12th August 2018 at the Holiday Inn, Goa. 

    The 19th Annual CIO&Leader Conference is a trusted two-decade old platform to engage with the top CIOs in India, which enables you to demonstrate your ability to help them in achieving their business goals with your solutions.  

    The CIO today is a value creator. With businesses increasingly looking for ‘use cases’ for newer technologies rather than just ‘solutions’ to defined problems, the CIO’s role has changed from proactively looking for opportunities to adding business value.  

    This year’s theme – The Practical CIO – is decided keeping that in mind.  

    With this theme, you have immense opportunity to show them how they can leverage your technology and solution to get to their business goals. The focus would be actionable.  

    Like in earlier years, more than 100 CIOs from some of the largest Indian enterprises will be part of the conference this year.  

    This year’s conference will offer an interactive, workshop-centric experience where delegates will receive actionable guidance for practical technology implementations through deep dive workshops, case studies, discussion-oriented ideas cafe, expert keynotes, breakfast briefings and many other interesting formats.  

    While a full-fledged agenda will follow, given below are a few of the new initiatives we are really excited about:
