Submit your recommendation at http://www.mitcio.com/speakers/speaker-recommendation/  Or, join our LinkedIn group, where we will be hosting discussions for each of this year's panels.
MIT's Heroes of the Digital Economy

 

The Initiative on the Digital Economy (IDE) is a major effort addressing the impact of digital technology on business, the economy, and society.  Drawing upon MIT Sloan's strengths in technology and innovation, its internationally recognized faculty, and over a decade of research and partnership through Sloan's Center for Digital Business, the Initiative analyzes the broad changes brought about by digital technology.  Many of the key issues are described in two recent books by Professor Erik Brynjolfsson and Dr. Andrew McAfee called Race Against the Machine and The Second Machine Age.  Nearly all of their research publications are available at no cost to the IT community at large through their website, http://mitsloan.mit.edu/ide.

 

MIT IDE has organized the following Symposium panels:

Erik Brynjolfsson Marshall Van Alstyne Alex Pentland Sinan Aral Nils Fonstad Andrew McAfee

We are thrilled to have MIT IDE join us and look forward to our ongoing partnership. We hope you agree that their participation makes a great Symposium even better.

 

Last Chance to Shape the Agenda!
We have added a few new panels, but your input is still needed to help decide which ones will be general sessions and which ones will be break outs.   Tell us what panels are of most interest before voting closes Feb 17 at http://www.mitcio.com/agenda. All panels and descriptions along with voting information are on one, easy to scan page. I also welcome your direct feedback, just hit reply.  
Are You an Exceptional CIO?
Will your organization be applying for this year's CIO Leadership Award? Do you have a nominee at another organization, perhaps a customer or partner?  If so, it's time to act, the application deadline is February 29.   Download the  Award Application form here.
Is Your Early Stage Company Unique?
The Innovation Showcase is a special opportunity to meet with the world's best, brightest, and most successful technology executives and companies.   If you know a company that fits this description, tell them about it and encourage them to apply!  Information about the showcase and the application download can be found at http://www.mitcio.com/innovation . Applications are due April 1.
