The value of being together: what we will do
CISOs, protagonists of moments of discussion and insight: working tables, networking moments
two working tables organized thanks to the insights gathered from questions and ideas given directly by CISOs on the role of AI and the evolution of the profession.
The tables to which you can contribute are:
-" CIOs and CISOs: perspectives, innovation and essential synergies"
-" The Essential Role of CIOs in the Age of AI."
This year, CIOs will play an even greater role in directing the content of the outdoor event and will lead the interventions of our technology partners, within fresh and engaging formats
- DigitalHyenas
CIOs interview multiple sponsors simultaneously, exploring their vision of essentiality through questions inspired by key digital aspects and contexts.
-Role Playing
The CIO outlines a scenario related to his or her business and invites the partners involved to step into his or her shoes and propose an essential response strategy. The CIO then shares, in a comparison of different perspectives.
-In the spotlight
The CIOs will be the "light" of the main partners who, starting from a clear keyword will offer their vision of essentiality on a chosen theme, giving rise to a dynamic comparison between the different points of view.
In a gamification perspective, CIOs will share experiences and views through instant interactions and video content creation:
- Digital mirror
Interactive format, in which CIOs are asked to actively participate in polls, offering an "instant reflection" and shared of their ideas and opinions on essential issues.
-Video challenge
CIOs and participants in the room divided into teams will make short videos on the concept of essentiality for tomorrow's business. The videos made will then be screened during the event.
The popular CIOappointment with top talent recruiters, who will speak in dedicated sessions, is renewed
As every year, it is the CIOs who will evaluate the finalist projects in the Digital360 Awards contest and determine the winners. Projects are ranked according to categories:
-Artificial Intelligence-Business application
-Cloud computing and infrastructure solutions
-CRM and marketing and sales solutions
-Cybersecurity
