Connect with the world @ MIT

In one day... Engage and connect with global business and industry thought leaders. Acquire actionable insight through leading academic research. Explore the newest enterprise technological innovations.

The MIT Sloan CIO Symposium is a community of CEOs, CIOs and senior IT executives who connect with academic thought leaders, their practicing peers and IT partners in an annual one-day conference, held on the MIT campus, as well as through online conversations and educational webcasts. These CIOs and other senior business executives from around the world gather to explore how leading-edge academic research and innovative technologies can help address the practical challenges faced in today's volatile business environment and economy.

The 2013 MIT Sloan CIO Symposium will address this critical concern. Keynote presentations and interactive panel discussions feature more than fifty business leaders, strategists, lead CIOs, and technology innovators, from industry and academia. Our sessions explore topics ranging from leveraging virtualization and cloud computing to the IT role in turning your company green, application of collaborative technologies, outsourcing and IT governance.

Ten Years of Excellence

The MIT Sloan School of Management is ranked first in IT and innovation leadership among business schools worldwide. The MIT Sloan CIO Symposium provides insight into leading-edge academic research that enables CIOs and other senior business executives to harness the potential of innovative tools and new approaches to the practical challenges they face in today’s changing economy.

The Transformational CIO: Architecting the Enterprise of the Future

Driven by economic, social, political, environmental and technological forces, the environment in which organizations operate continues to experience complex and dramatic change. This year’s Symposium speaks to the CIOs who wish to understand and embrace this change and lead the organization to respond to the emerging reality.

The enterprise of the future will be very different from the one we know. It will be complex, develop hitherto unforeseen forms, and will have to respond to unforeseen challenges. All while the windows of opportunity and response will continue to shrink.

There will not only be the need to be agile and adapt to changes as they occur, but to be proactive in shaping the next generation enterprise to be ready for the future.

What can the CIO do to lead the transformation and realize the opportunities that are coming? Find out at the 2013 MIT CIO Symposium.

What They're Saying

" The MIT Sloan program has a rich innovation practice, and that is why I am here. To learn both from the Sloan folks and hear from other attendees. It is a really rich cross-pollenization of different organizations. An opportunity to both tell the GSA story and learn from others and benefit from their experiences."
