Forbes Announces First-Ever CIO Summit Europe

LONDON (3 May, 2018) – Forbes today announced that it will be hosting the first-ever Forbes CIO Summit Europe at the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel in London on 24th May, furthering the company's continued European expansion of its world-leading franchises. Building from the success of the annual US-based CIO Summit, the Forbes CIO Summit Europe will gather the region's most influential Chief Information Officers (CIOs), as well as the CEOs of leading technology companies to explore today's biggest technological challenges, foster collaboration and generate new ideas. The topics of discussion at the event will focus on the CIO's role at the core of the ever-evolving technology ecosystem and how advances in digital transformation, machine learning, artificial intelligence and data analytics are enabling CIOs to play a central role in driving enterprise growth and value. Attendees will discuss the complex security risks that are entwined with new technology and how the CIO is now the key driver of risk mitigation, while continuing to support internal productivity and operational efficiency. The invitation-only event will take place at the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel, in the heart of London's emerging King's Cross tech hub, where Silicon Valley giants co-exist with innovative UK start-ups.
