CIO Exchange: Strategies, Tactics, and Best Practices to help you thrive in 2022

2020 was a bear, 2021 has been a beast – 2022 is the year of the tiger. Are you ready?

Join us as executive Research Adjunct Advisor, Cora Carmody, shares market observations and guidance to help you enhance your organization’s resiliency, improve agility, and accelerate innovation as digital-first business strategies become the norm. Then over dinner discuss, debate, and exchange perspectives with your fellow CIOs about 2022 challenges and opportunities. Discussion topics include:

  • How design thinking accelerates innovation 
  • Setting your cloud optimization strategy 
  • What the board needs to know about ransomware

Enjoy a luxurious Three-Course Dinner while you listen to presentations from some of the greatest minds in technology, headed by Research Adjunct Advisor, Cora Carmody. The dinner will take place at Mister Jiu's, a Michelin Star rated, high-end Chinese restaurant in the heart of San Francisco's Chinatown.

Chef/owner Brandon Jew makes San Francisco's iconic Chinatown a destination-worthy enclave with his long-loved and consistently impressive dining hall.

Mister Jiu’s is bright, airy, and fitted out with dramatic brass lotus chandeliers that hang overhead. Food is served family style, thereby making it ideal for groups, but solo diners can rest easy as they will certainly enjoy the sleek bar up front, pouring a litany of enticing cocktails with such virtuous names as "Tranquility" and "Happiness." Chef Jew's cooking at his flagship restaurant focuses on Cantonese cuisine spiced by the occasional Sichuan specialty bearing hyper-seasonal local produce and a liberating dash of creativity.

Revelers may head to the ultra-cool and retro Moongate Lounge for fun bites and divine drinks.
