About The Event:
Since 2010, we’ve had high value CTO panels that focus on emerging practices and technologies that are having transformative and disruptive impacts. We cover what has changed for CTOs over the past 2 to 3 years and implications of these changes going forward. This is one of the most anticipated and well-attended events of the year, and this year will be no exception. We’ll hear from seasoned executives who will discuss trends that include:
• AI – CTOs are using AI to increase productivity across their organizations and to improve their products. CTOs have had to step into more strategic conversations to help drive smart adoption. The panelists will discuss details and results of where and how they are adopting AI across their organizations.
• Talent and Remote Teams – the software engineering talent market has changed greatly over the past few years. At the same time, as CTOs, we are trying to build high-performance teams in a remote world, often using off/near-shore resources as part of our team.
• Security – the threat landscape is changing all the time and CTOs are central to cybersecurity in their organizations. There’s also been a big shift in the evaluation process of security evaluations with new tools on the market.
This will be a fantastic conversation with many practical takeaways.
