Metis Strategy Digital Symposium: June 24, 2021

Back to All Insights

As leaders continue to position their organizations for a new normal, they are re-tooling their operations for hybrid working models, automating a growing number of processes, and creating data-driven digital experiences for customers and employees. As the pace of change accelerates, understanding technology and its potential to deliver value is a mandate not only for technology leaders but also for their peers in the C-suite. For CIOs, this presents an unprecedented opportunity to be a catalyst for transformational change across all levels and functions of an organization.

On June 24, we are excited and honored to welcome an outstanding lineup of CIOs, Chief Executive Officers, and other C-suite leaders to share their perspectives on the evolving nature of work, the critical role that technology plays in enabling future growth, and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. We will also hear from prominent CIOs-turned-CEOs who will reflect on their journeys and share practical advice for building strong relationships between chief executives and technology leaders.

If you are a CIO, CDO, CTO or other senior technology leader, register here to reserve your spot. We look forward to welcomging you!
