Seriously loved by CIOs

Our intimate roundtables offer an unparalleled forum to candidly discuss issues that are top of mind for CIOs.

“As the CIO of one of the largest school boards in North America, it is critical for me to be on top of the latest technology trends and to connect with peers from across the educational and technology industries. As a member of Toronto CIO for a number of years, I have had the opportunity to attend a variety of insightful and engaging learning sessions covering a wide range of strategic and operational topics. I have also been able to connect with CIOs in various industry sectors in an informal, engaging and collaborative environment to share ideas and information and discuss common technology challenges and opportunities. Being able to connect with CIOs from Toronto and getting a local perspective has been especially helpful. Given the dramatic pace of change in the technology industry, I think it is crucial to have organizations like Toronto CIO that provide CIOs with learning and networking opportunities that help them become more effective technology leaders.

“I have been attending many of the Toronto CIO events for the past few years. I appreciate the consistently high-calibre of speakers, the wide and interesting variety of topics covered -- almost all of which are applicable to me in my role as CIO/CTO at Pelmorex Corp. (aka The Weather Network) I also learn alot from my conversations and networking with the really impressive fellow attendees during and after the sessions, and have made several really solid connections. Susan does a splendid job of staying dialed into the topics we are most interested in, of arranging really great venues and speakers, and of keeping us all well informed between events. "

“The Toronto CIO Forum provides an excellent platform for CIOs and IT executives to share their experiences, challenges, and insights. The forum periodically meets in group settings featuring panel discussions, keynote speeches, and interactive sessions with extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful technology leaders, experts and key vendors from various sectors, making it an ideal place to learn, exchange ideas, collaborate, partner and network. Above and beyond that, I also got the opportunity to visit really interesting headquarters, technology and operations centers, making the sessions extremely memorable and rewarding. I have heavily benefited from the Toronto CIO forum, it is expertly organized by Susan and her team. "
