2016 Theme Announced

I am please to share with you the 2016 MIT Sloan CIO Symposium theme:

Thriving in the Digital Economy

According to MIT Sloan research (Leading Digital) companies that thrive in the digital economy are 26% more profitable than their industry peers. These companies excel in the strategic use of data, in leading digital innovation, in creating new business opportunities through platform strategies, and in adapting to the changing nature of work and the workplace. The 2016 Symposium will provide insights into ways CIOs can help their organizations Thrive in the Digital Economy.

More than a dozen keynote presentations and interactive panel discussions tied to this year's theme will feature business leaders, technology trendsetters, and thought leaders from academia.
