Agenda

Our two-and-a-half-day program features a custom curated agenda focusing on the topics and themes that interest you most and is delivered in a format that encourages more discussion, more interaction, and more collaboration.

Drawing from the collective knowledge of a growing community of IT managers, directors, technical architects, and Cisco experts we dive into the most relevant aspects of the "business of IT", from leveraging technologies that redefine business and drive innovation all the way to understanding emerging trends, developing your leadership skills, and creating a culture that will attract and retain the best talent.

"Organisations are dependent on IT leaders, now more than ever. This new, hybrid world has introduced new challenges – an increase in cybersecurity risks, a surge in cloud applications and more. We must upskill IT to ensure our people have the latest skills to compete in an increasingly digital marketplace."

— Julie Canepa, Regional CIO for Asia Pacific, Japan and China
