Indianapolis CIO Executive Summit

Governing Body members host this dinner to launch the event with an evening of peer networking.

 Join the Governing Body for a lunch and interactive networking.

Successful organizations apply innovative strategies and identify market opportunities to keep ahead of competition and disrupt the marketplace. At Allegion, while their core strength is in mechanical security, when they combine that with digital, mobile and interconnected electronic solutions – and their expertise in style and design – makes them a leader in their markets.

In this session you’ll hear about:

• Educating executive leadership in an innovative way
• Creating intentional and purposeful innovation teams
• Learning points around tools, techniques and capabilities

As a high-level business strategy, digital transformation requires reimagining tradition and reinventing the way companies do business. Emerging technologies continue to expand the digital landscape and CIOs are exploring how to create smart, engaging customer experiences.

Join this boardroom for a peer-to-peer discussion on:

• Enabling your organization to drive the business forward
• Enhancing digital customer experiences
• Managing people and processes as digital is scaled across the enterprise

Executive boardrooms are intimate and interactive sessions designed to foster dynamic dialogue around a specific, strategic topic. These private, closed-door discussions encourage attendee participation and are limited to 15 attendees (seating priority is given to C-level executives). To reserve your seat, please contact Chris Carcich at christopher.carcich@evanta.com or 971-978-5000. 

In an increasingly competitive landscape, new thinking, new technology and new ways of doing business are essential. But to fully embrace and leverage innovation, CIOs, like speaker James Jordan of Ascension, must be disruptors themselves. How can “design thinking” improve your team and drive value for the business?

In this session, you’ll learn how to:

• Embrace agility
• Embody the voice of the customer
• Create an intrapreneur factory

The cloud has proven to be an enduring aspect of the tech-driven business. But for all its ubiquity, there is no “one size fits all” for your organization; with as many cloud strategies as there are businesses, skepticism and enthusiasm often share the same office. If you want answers to clouds most fundamental questions, you need this interactive conversation with peers that are living it.

In this boardroom, you’ll exchange successes and challenges around:

• Demonstrating substantial ROI on your cloud initiatives
• Lessons learned across the cloud spectrum, from cloud-native companies to hybrid adherents to cloud opportunists
• What strategy and scale are the right fit for your organization now and into the future

As a security executive, you know how many disparate pieces of information can together leave you vulnerable to hackers. Framed photos. Letters from family. Personal documents tucked away in a drawer. For 50 minutes, you’ll try on the black hat, assuming the role of a hacker trying to access an organization’s most sensitive data.

The catch—you only have 40 minutes to gather all the correct intel to gain access to the data, and you’re limited to the clues around the room.

In this session, be prepared to:

• Hack a Facebook account using information left behind on employees’ desks
• Identify which sensitive documents commonly found on employees’ desks can be used to access important accounts
• Learn a new way to gamify insider threat training

Join Harper as she shares insights on:

• Building diverse teams to increase innovation
