SEIZING THE FULL TECHNOLOGY POTENTIAL

CONQUERING COMPLEXITY  |  DRIVING VALUE CREATION  |  PREPARING THE HYPERAUTOMATION WAVE

Never before has technology created so many challenges -but also so many opportunities- for IT departments to drastically reconsider their strategic roadmap, re-invent their operating model, re-purpose their investments, hyperautomate routine tasks, bring new levels of intelligence, create outsdanding customer experiences, and respond to evolving business imperatives.

The Summit 2026  will explore where CIOs should  go on the offensive to conquer and seize the full potential of technology, hasten innovation, and create 360° value by rethinking every part of the business through the seamless integration of cloud, data and AI.

Moreover, it will envision what new technology capabilities really mean for businesses, and how rapid advancements in  5G, generative AI, quantum computing, DevOps, AI agents, and many others are transforming industries and business models beyond the conventional spheres.

A strong line-up of speakers -inspiring CIOs, maverick thinkers and visionary industry experts- enriched by real-world cases and research-based guidance will bring the summit 2026 well above traditional thoughts and debates. The program will also highlight how key technology and solution providers may help IT organizations capture new opportunities and embrace a world in fast motion in a variety of technological, operational and integration areas.
