“I am delighted to announce our role as Strategic Partner for the IDC Kuwait CIO Summit 2024, a testament to our commitment to driving the digital transformation landscape in the country,” said Dr. Ammar H. AlHusaini, Acting Director General of CAIT. “This event underscores our dedication to shaping the future of IT, where artificial intelligence will undoubtedly play a pivotal role.

“In today’s era of GenAI-driven disruption, technology leaders are reimagining the strategic implications of AI across various facets of digitalization. From enhancing customer experiences to optimizing operational efficiency and ensuring sustainability, AI is poised to revolutionize the business landscape. Against this backdrop, the IDC Kuwait CIO Summit 2024 will empower technology leaders with the knowledge and strategies required to adopt an ‘AI everywhere’ mindset and embrace AI as a central pillar of their organizations’ tech agendas,” said Jyoti Lalchandani, IDC’s Group Vice President and Regional Managing Director for the Middle East, Türkiye, and Africa.
