About the CIO Conference 2008
Successful strategies for a complex world
16-17 September, SKYCITY Auckland Convention Centre
This year's CIO Conference recognises the growing challenge of complexity within business. Technology change is accelerating. The internet has revolutionised service delivery. Globalisation has introduced both new clients and new competitors and has placed greater pressures on business for operational excellence.
Attend the ninth annual CIO conference and hear from your peers on their strategies for overcoming some of these business challenges.
Last year's event brought you an outstanding keynote from Andre Mendes, CIO of the Special Olympics, plus other insightful sessions from Julia Raue of Air New Zealand, Terry Wright of the Government of Victoria, Stephen Tame of Jetstar Airways and Mary Ann Maxwell of Gartner Asia Pacific
We look forward to welcoming you and your peers for an essential two days on 16th & 17th September as we help set the new CIO agenda.
