2. Where do you experience your light bulb moments?
You know, those rare gems that can completely change the course of your company’s future?
Or your life. Probably not when you’re up to your eyeballs in budgets and forecasts.
That’s why we’re inviting you to step away from everything and focus on what really matters.
Growth. Innovation. Your career.
The CIO Event has one obsessive aim: to create an environment that sparks ideas,
where you’re guaranteed to learn something new.
It could be a new approach to a difficult market. A new business idea in an existing sector. A different slant
on an old problem. A perspective you've seldom considered before. Or an honest account of how badly
something went wrong.
We’re seeking out all of the above, to give you a completely refreshing experience.
Let’s talk about the atmosphere
I’m going to invite you to paint a mental picture.
There’s a buzz in the air. You’re in a room alive with creative energy and you’re surrounded
by a fascinating group of individuals.
Many of them lead some of the world’s most inspiring companies. Others are here because they've made
brave business moves that catapulted their businesses forward. Some are old friends,
others new acquaintances. But they’re all people you’re excited to meet.
And you’re surprised at just how many people you've had a chance to meet. And how frank and open
everyone has been. If you had to put your finger on it, you’d probably sum it up as being highly personal.
Intimate event.
From the quality of the discussion to the inviting comfy sofas - everything has just screamed at you to open
up, and that effect seems to have worked on everyone. You’ve heard your fellow leader be more candid
than ever before and boy has that been interesting…
Back to here and now.
I hope this has given you a flavour of what you can expect on 14th April 2015.

3. Who You’ll Meet
CIO's and IT Directors who share your aspirations
to drive results, growth and profitability
through technology. Those who are pushing
the boundaries, taking their companies
forward in new, unexpected ways.
Every attendee is hand selected. As each
speaker or attendee signs up, we ask them who
else they’d like to meet, which companies they
admire. Their recommendations then
become the next people we contact.
To ensure the event never veers away from it’s
goal of delivering a personal, trusted
environment, we find the optimal size is 80
people. It's about quality rather than quantity.
An Event Built Around You
Everything about the CIO Event is built on Attendee feedback.
The programme, the speaker panel, the audience, even the suppliers.
We specialise in bringing the most game changing, innovative solution providers to your attention.
The only vendors we approach are either recommended by you, or they’ve come to light through
our own detailed search for thought leaders, disruptors and boutique advisors on the subjects
under discussion at the event.
Tell us who you want to meet and we’ll make those meetings happen.
Tell us who you don’t want to meet, and we’ll steer clear.
The success of our financial model rests on the quality of these meetings, which means we’re not
in the business of introducing people who don’t want to be introduced. Expect to find a refreshing list of
businesses to select from, and an open, illuminating exchange with those you choose to meet.
A Format to Stir Things Up
Presentations - Only when there’s some thing really interesting to say
Panels - When several opinions are better than one
Round tables - To allow those sparks to catch fire
Candid in the extreme - Leaders sharing their worst mistakes of the last 12 months
Networking: The No 1 Priority
It would be a crime to gather together such a group, and not give them enough time to get to
know each other properly. From a speaker dinner on the 14th April, right through to the gala
dinner on the 15th, you’ll find the programme full of time to relax and exchange ideas.
