Tuesday, January 20th | 2:00-4:00 PM ET

Join us, your technology colleagues, and Toast CISO, Dean Crutchfield for the kickoff TechTalk Tuesday of 2026. Dean will share his leadership mindset based on over 40 years in the technology industry as a successful leader in an ever changing tech landscape. 
You'll benefit from his insights on: 

• Getting comfortable being uncomfortable
• Change accelerators
• Managing resistance

TechTalk Tuesday is a live virtual experience designed to evolve with the current industry landscape.

Each bi-weekly session, we bring you battle-tested technology executives and innovators—leaders with proven track records of driving business convergence and delivering tangible outcomes at scale—streamed live to you wherever you are. No theoretical research reports. No abstract forecasts. Just real-world strategies, lessons learned, and actionable playbooks from those who have successfully transformed enterprises and accelerated growth through technology.

You’ll hear directly from CIOs, CTOs, and transformative leaders who have:

• Deployed generative AI with measurable ROI
• Closed talent and security gaps while scaling innovation
• Aligned disconnected initiatives into coherent, high-velocity digital strategies
• Earned and retained C-suite and board confidence in technology as a growth engine

Plus, you’ll still get the full benefits of TechTalk networking—all in a virtual setting: connect live with our sponsors—the companies and leaders actually delivering enterprise-grade solutions today—and schedule follow-up conversations tailored to your specific priorities.

Join this bi-weekly virtual series to stay ahead of the curve, challenge your thinking, and leave with concrete ideas you can implement immediately.

Register now and surround yourself with the people who aren’t just talking about disruption—they’re making it pay off.
