The organizing team is pleased to announce the agenda for the MIT Sloan CIO Symposium coming up on May 20, 2015 at the MIT Kresge Auditorium, Cambridge, MA.

Thanks to all the people, from nine countries, who helped shape the agenda! We sincerely appreciate everyone who took the time to review the proposed panels for this year and voted for their favorites. We used your input to select the general session topics and added a few more. The three topics with the highest survey score were:

Platform Shift - How New Business Models are Changing the Shape of Industry, and the Role of CIOs selected as the morning CIO Keynote Panel
Leading Digital: A Manifesto for IT and Business Executives selected as the Afternoon Keynote Panel
Cybersecurity - New Approaches to Assessing and Maximizing Your Protection was a late addition to the voting but quickly gathered strong interest

Visit our 2015 Agenda page to see all the panels. We have organized the agenda so the most popular topics are front and center in the "main tent", Kresge Auditorium.

Scaling the MIT "Alps"... While It Lasts?

Could MIT host the Winter Olympics? Thanks to record snowfall and the efforts of MIT Facilities Staff, Cambridge and Boston residents enjoy skiing and sledding on this gigantic five-story snow mound. See More �

Depending on Global Climate Change, this historic landmark might still be here if you attend the Symposium in May!
