Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo Theme: Agents of Change: Leading Through Intelligence

In today’s volatile world, CIOs and tech leaders face crucial choices. Now is the time to harness AI for successful digital transformation. As the lead change agent, leaders need:

• Adaptive leadership to navigate complex challenges
• Smart tech decisions on AI-ready data, cybersecurity, cloud sovereignty and cost optimization
• Innovation and resilience to foster a change-ready culture
• Actionable insights for prioritized strategies
• A future-ready workforce for tomorrow

The Gartner Opening Keynote: Bridging the Value Divide, will focus on Gartner’s unique view on the growing value divide in organizations' AI efforts: 60% of CIOs see little return, while 40% see some but want more. To bridge this gap, Gartner will discuss how enterprises must rethink their workforce, operations, and even functional and organizational identities. The full agenda will provide the latest insights and expert guidance on the future direction of technology, best practices to define and validate IT strategies and real-world examples of how to execute on key initiatives.
