Topics at a Glance

Our topic-focused agenda will cover challenges most critical to CIOs and their leadership teams. As we continue to finalize our 2019 agenda, preview some of the featured topics that are covered at Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo 2019.

Business Intelligence and Data Analytics

Success in the digital age depends on your ability to use data. Explore the new strategies, skills, roles and methods to manage, analyze and use data as a tool to make more confident decisions.

Cost Optimization

Examine how organizations, particularly those being disrupted by digital business or under severe economic pressure, can look at cost optimization more holistically and step away from using IT cost cutting as a business growth strategy.

Customer Experience

Customers are more empowered than ever, so for most CEOs, customer experience (CX) management is a top priority. Because competitive differentiation has diminished in most markets, it’s important to discover how to use superior CX as a sustainable differentiator.

Digital Transformation, Platforms and Strategy

Technology and intelligence will be embedded in every aspect of digital business of the future. Discover the steps to achieve digital transformation for your organization, and how to align the physical and digital worlds for employees, partners and customers.

Emerging and Advanced Technologies

Technology is changing everything, and the rate of change will never be this slow again. Explore how to identify and capitalize on the trends that are reshaping every industry and market, including artificial intelligence, blockchain and the Internet of Things.

Innovation

True innovators don’t just innovate. They fundamentally shift the dynamics of their environments. Learn how to engage with disruption to shape organizational dynamics, strategic planning, investment priorities and technologies, and drive the future of business.

Leadership

CIOs can help business leaders understand the role information and technology should play in strategic planning. Learn how to position IT opportunities and threats not as an afterthought but at the heart of your organization’s core leadership strategy.

Work, People and Culture

Leadership and culture are critical to your organization’s success. Explore how to develop a change-ready culture and empower your team with the right combination of skills, competencies and experience.

Security and Risk

The dominant responsibility of security organizations is information-centric security, but this focus fails to account for the technology used by other areas of the business. Explore how to expand IT security to encompass all cyberphysical needs across your organization.
