The Four Seasons Hotel in Miami on the 10-12th September 2012 will witness CIO event of the year – the seventh GDS International CIO US Summit!

As technology increasingly infiltrates every aspect of contemporary commerce, the role of the CIO has had to evolve accordingly. Becoming much more central to organizational decision-making processes, CIOs must now take the reins to ensure their organization is able to both reap the benefits and overcome the obstacles associated with ‘smart’ economies.

GDS International summits maintain an astute focus on technological developments and the role of the CIO today. The event combines cutting edge topics with focused, peer-led discussions to provide the forward-thinking CIO with a client-focused platform from which to assess emerging trends and strategies for the year ahead. The summit’s program combines vibrant roundtable discussions with next generation technology solutions that have been carefully selected to address core challenges faced by decision makers in the sector.

Ryan Kanis, Director of CIO US Summits, believes that this year’s event is once again shaping up to exceed all expectations: “I’m really excited about this year’s summit. With fantastic content, innovative speakers and the opportunity to network on mutual issues, there is no doubt that the upcoming summit will not just bring significant value, but will allow both delegates and sponsors to engage with each other on a high and strategic level. There will be a fantastic gathering of CIOs and CTOs amongst other senior IT executives at the summit, while Meredith Whalen and her team at IDC have all been instrumental in shaping phenomenal program. I am confident that this will be the best summit we have run to date.”
