IO India Conclave 2015 – Goa, India

Despite the economic downturn freezing or cutting budgets and yielding a slow recovery, businesses are regaining strength and global IT spending is expected to increase in the coming years. But even with an economic upturn on the horizon and more importance placed on IT, we aren’t out of the woods yet.

The role of the CIO is more important than ever as financial turmoil continues to alter the global economy, making it difficult to put your organization in a position to achieve success. The business goals have changed and CIOs are now tasked with trying to find emerging opportunities to drive value throughout the enterprise.

We’re in a historic transition – one marked by challenges, but filled with possibility. Preparing for the upturn and making the right decisions in times of change can better position your enterprise to succeed. Accordingly, the theme of this year’s summit is CIOs in Transition – The Shift from Cost-Saver to Value Provider.

The 5th Annual CIO India Conclave was held in Goa from March 20 – 21, 2016. Over 20+ senior level speakers and 60+ C-suite executives from different industries are expected participated in this event.
