CIO Summit is an authoritative business platform that brings together key leaders of digital transformation (CIOs) from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, and Uzbekistan, as well as leading IT solution providers. Participants will discuss relevant trends, strategies, and solutions that contribute to sustainable development and digital transformation of business.
Digital leadership is becoming a critically important factor in competitiveness amid accelerating transformation. Organizations that have implemented digital strategies and are capable of scaling innovations gain a significant advantage.
CIOs play a key role in this process, managing digital transformations by focusing on the integration of artificial intelligence, automation, and analytics to transform business models.
According to the IDC FutureScape report, by 2026, over 70% of large companies will have digital leaders on their executive teams responsible for innovation and transformation. IDC emphasizes that success depends not only on technology but also on corporate culture: over 60% of CIOs believe that fostering an innovative culture is a higher priority than direct IT investments.
The program will include presentations by international speakers, analytical forecasts, discussions, and networking. At the same time, there will be an exhibition of solutions from technology partners, including Freedom Holding Corp., Dell Technologies (in collaboration with SDC), Nutanix, Severcore, Yandex Cloud, Commvault, Alinom, Noventiq (jointly with Microsoft and Lenovo).
