CEOtech Conference - Palo Alto, CA

It used to be nothing more than a support function. Today, IT is remaking industries high- and low-tech alike.

The wall that separated the IT department from your corner office is gone. And as CEO, leadership means getting out in front, rather than being dragged into the future.

Join peer CEOs and an all-star roster of speakers Oct. 18-19 at Stanford to cut through the media hype at CEOtech.

Learn how emerging mobile, cloud, social media and analytic technologies may alter your business model and what existing or new competitors may do.
See which technologies can improve your customer relationships, employee engagement, operational eﬃciency, sales and marketing eﬀectiveness and other key business functions.
Learn which technology pitfalls to avoid from peer CEOs who went down some of these paths already.
Meet, connect and brainstorm with fellow CEOs who are committed to innovation.

Produced by Chief Executive Group, the publishers of Chief Executive magazine, the CEOtech Conference will help CEOs understand, assess and leverage evolving technologies to better lead their companies.

The conference will probe new technologies but also focus on CEO to CEO peer interactions to delve into what the challenges and opportunities for CEOs in harnessing technologies to transform operations, service deliver, cost structures and business models.
