Vote on the 2021 MIT Sloan CIO Symposium Agenda

The Symposium will run over eight weeks. We will have 12 episodes, each with a panel, fireside chat or presentation, during weeks 2 – 7. Please click on the survey below to vote on 19 episode options to fill 10 slots. We always offer moderators the option of editing the title & description, so these are not set-in stone. Also, the order of panels may change due to audience feedback and moderator availability.
2021 MIT Sloan CIO Symposium, First Digital Edition: "The Big Reset: Digital Enterprises Shift into High Gear"

April 5 - May 28, 2021
 
Due to the ongoing health crisis, the in-person symposium will not return in 2021. Instead, we will introduce the First Digital Edition of the Symposium. The program will begin on April 5 and run through May 28. The 2021 event will feature weekly 60-90 minutes panel discussions.
 
The Symposium ticket also entitles you to 2 years of community membership that will be hosted on the Mighty Networks platform. In addition to the Symposium activities, you’ll be able to connect with others, participate in virtual round-table discussions, watch recordings, and attend events hosted by Sponsors and Partners. Our community will be dedicated to helping you build relationships with other technology executives year-round.
 
Join us and help us create the MIT Sloan CIO Community to support the mission of the Symposium. When the Symposium returns to the MIT campus, hopefully in 2022, the community will continue as your virtual program and networking hub. Let’s innovate together.
