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?
TechTalks is the place for leaders in the technology community to relax, network and hear about the latest mission-critical technologies in a social setting. Enjoy your beverage of choice; munch on appetizers; connect with people you’ve friended, LinkedIn and tweeted; and discuss cutting-edge technology with innovative IT manufacturers and their partners.
Join us as Group Vice President of Energy and Manufacturing Insights, Kevin Prouty, 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 IDC's Group Vice President of Energy and Manufacturing Insights, Kevin Prouty. The event will take place at El Five, a restaurant that serves Spanish & Eastern Mediterranean small plates in a funky, buzzy top-floor penthouse.
Nestled high above LoHi on the fifth floor of 2930 Umatilla, El Five boasts spectacular, unobstructed city views of the downtown Denver skyline, and a wide frame of sprawling highlands for an unrivaled sunset view. The Large open-air patio sits adjacent to its big sister: Edible Beat’s concept Linger.
The Mediterranean Sea has a rich export culture, all connected by one region : The Strait of Gibraltar. Like the port, El Five is a melting pot of all the Mediterranean regions, creating dishes without a home country, that taste like favorites from each one: Tapas De Gibraltar.
