Event Description
Annual CIO Summit at the Ritz Carlton, Half Moon Bay
The CIO was first introduced to lead the Data Processing and Information Systems departments of the past. Today, the job is a much different role. The skillset and responsibilities are worlds apart from what they were a decade or two ago. And the role continues to adapt to the changing face of the modern business enterprise.
Discussing key topics such as the Cloud, Digital Transformation, Data & Analytics and the use of AI and IoT, the CIO Summit gives you the opportunity to meet leading decision-makers under one roof at one time, to be part of the discussions that are shaping the future of security and to network and develop contacts that will strengthen your business.
The program is driven by our senior-level Advisory Board including representatives from TNT, Henley Business School, Fox Networks Group, US Department of Defense and Wyndham Group.
The CIO Summit brings together leaders from across the public, large enterprises & mid-market sectors to provide you with a strategic and practical toolkit to help drive transformation including:
- A full day of leading CIO’s discussing the latest industry trends
- Workshops, panel discussions & round table sessions led by visionaries within technology
- First-hand case studies on the challenges facing IT
- Fantastic networking opportunities with peers throughout the day
- Over 50 Senior Level IT Directors
- Keynotes, Interactive Round-tables, and Lively Panel Discussions
- Industry-leading topics around IoT, AI, Cloud, etc.
- Dedicated space and time for peer-to-peer networking with fellow industry leaders

AI Colleagues: Agentic AI Architecture to Transform the Back Office
8:30 AM
Keynote
The jQuery Moment for AI
Query transformed web development by abstracting browser chaos into elegant simplicity. AI development needs the same revolution. Today, building AI apps requires specialized knowledge of embeddings, vector math, and pipeline management—skills that sideline your best developers. Learn how modern platforms are flattening the AI learning curve, enabling any developer to build production AI without ML expertise.

Panel Discussion
Beyond Hype: Operationalizing AI Across the Enterprise
AI has become a part of our daily lives, but the hype has only just started to clear enough to really architect the plans, processes, and tooling that is really required to integrate agentic workflows into our businesses. This panel will discuss practical readiness questions: where AI actually belongs, when a need justifies agent autonomy vs. a well-scoped model call, underlying data readiness, and how governance, identity, and access need to evolve. Panelists will share the operational practices that have held up in production, and the good intentions that didn’t make the cut.

From Tokens To Outcomes - A CIO's Autonomous IT Playbook
Enterprises have committed millions to AI, yet outcomes stay unproven. Automation Anywhere CIO Kapil Vyas will share the Autonomous IT Operating Model — the framework behind taking IT from 5% to 48% autonomy in one year. Learn about autonomous IT and the enterprise work delegation model for AI agents, and leave with a scorecard and glidepath to get started.

Panel Discussion
Escaping the AI Jungle: Architectural Strategies for Enterprise-Grade AI Data Planes
Most enterprise AI projects don't stall because of model selection or weak algorithms; they get lost in the "AI jungle" - a complex web of fragmented data sources, latency bottlenecks, and fragile operational infrastructure. Moving agentic AI from pilot projects into mission-critical production requires enterprise leaders to address the underlying data plane, regardless of their legacy technology stack. In this panel session, Jack Harper, Director of Solutions Engineering at Couchbase, moderates a discussion with IT and digital leaders across industries to explore how organizations are navigating from promising prototypes to resilient, real-time enterprise AI.

How Greptile Uses Shared Knowledge to Coordinate Security Agents and Find More Vulnerabilities
At Greptile, we use our Knowledge Base to get security agents to “coordinate” and share information as they analyze a codebase. Instead of each agent working independently, agents can build on context and findings surfaced by others, allowing them to investigate related attack paths, avoid duplicating work, and uncover vulnerabilities that may be difficult for a single agent to find on its own. In this talk, Daksh Gupta, ceo/co-founder of Greptile, will explain how Greptile uses shared knowledge as a coordination mechanism between security agents, why this approach leads to higher rates of security findings, and what we’ve learned about making multi-agent security analysis more effective.
