In today’s rapidly shifting market landscape, the need for real-time, data-led decision-making has never been greater. Business leaders are under pressure to respond to change with agility, intelligence, and confidence — and data is central to that response.
Our Community Event on 10th July explores how organisations are moving beyond internal silos to harness a broader, richer ecosystem of information. From supply chain signals and customer behaviour to external partners and environmental factors, success increasingly depends on integrating data from both inside and outside the corporate envelope.
Our theme, “Addressing the Data Dynamic”, will explore how CIOs, CDOs and digital leaders are adapting their data strategies to improve resilience, efficiency, and innovation across the enterprise.
Key discussion points will include:
The evening will feature an in-depth interview with a headline data leader from a major UK organisation, followed by a panel discussion with senior executives who are reshaping how their businesses think about and act on data.
As ever, CIONET events are designed to offer more than just content. Expect meaningful conversations, practical insights, and the chance to connect with over 100 senior IT and digital leaders in an informal, welcoming setting.
