Why You Should Be Here 

We know your calendar is already jammed, but here’s why you don’t want to miss this: 

1. Amazing Keynotes for IT Leaders 
We’re bringing together the best minds in the business to share their insights and experiences. Kick things off with Meredith Whalen, Chief Research Officer from IDC as she explores “AI: Art of the Possible, Delivery of the Practical.” You’ll get the lowdown on how to make AI work for you, even if you’ve been hitting some roadblocks. 

Right after, you’ll see James Scott from Dell Technologies, who’ll guide you through “Future Trends in AI” — think AI agents, next-gen IT infrastructure, and the future of workforce dynamics. And that’s just the beginning! We’ve lined up sessions that cover everything from AI’s role in cybersecurity to how you can use data for better decision-making. 

2. Sessions That Speak to Your Challenges 
Struggling to balance cybersecurity concerns while trying to scale AI? Don’t miss our panel discussion, “Can AI Bridge the Gap Between Cyber-Resilient and Non-Resilient Organizations?” Experts like Yogesh Shivhare an analyst from IDC and Rocco Galletto from BDO Canada will dig into the real issues — like budget constraints, skill gaps, and the latest AI-driven threats — and share practical solutions you can take back to your team. 

Or, if data’s your thing, catch Matt Jennings from Iron Mountain as he dives into “Leveraging AI for Data Insights and Decision Making.” Learn how AI can be your co-pilot, turning mountains of data into actionable insights that drive real business outcomes. 

3. Interactive, Hands-On Learning 
Forget boring lectures. We’ve designed interactive discussion groups where you can dive into the nitty-gritty details that matter to you. Whether you’re interested in “AI Resiliency,” “Governance and Risk of GenAI,” or “Next Gen Cloud Strategies,” our expert-led table topics are the perfect place to get your questions answered and exchange ideas with peers. 

What Else to Look Forward To? 

• Spotlight on Innovation: Don’t miss the CIO Awards Canada Showcase! Canada’s top IT leaders will present their award-winning projects from Canadian Tire, RBC, IMCO and Nissan. Think digital transformation, operational excellence, and game-changing tech solutions that could inspire your next big move.   

• Networking Opportunities: Need more reasons? How about a networking lunch and a cocktail reception where you get to enjoy good food and good people? These are perfect chances to connect with IT leaders, tech innovators, and solution providers who can help you overcome your latest challenges. 

• Quick Hits on Big Topics: We’ve packed in sessions like “Driving Change: IT Leadership and AI Strategy Today” with Jay Upchurch the EVP and CIO at SAS and “Unleash Core AI Use Cases with AI PCs,” presented by Sally Lowery from Lenovo.  

So, what are you waiting for?
