Government CIO Summit 2011

The role of the CIO in the public sector has become more prominent with an increased dependence of governments on IT for internal management and delivery of services to citizens. Government CIOs will assume a greater leadership role with a focus on shaping and creating an economy fuelled by information. New and improved strategic processes in facilitating information exchange and resource administration will become compounding factors towards achieving success. In essence the role is campaigning for a change in attitude towards IT.

The current economic climate poses remarkable challenges for Government CIOs as an advent of new technology emerges without clear methods of implementation. In an effort to increase efficiency, CIOs must ensure that the most appropriate implementations are engaged through committing to IT solutions and strategies that drive innovation and growth.

The Government CIO Summit 2011 will offer the perfect setting for sponsors to present their products and services directly to the key decision makers and gate keepers of Australia s IT budgets. Over three days, sponsors will meet and interact with top IT executives through a number of business one-to-one meetings and many networking activities. In addition, sponsors will attend the strategic summit sessions led by the thought leaders in the CIO and IT community. Within the luxurious settings of the Royal Pines Resort Gold Coast, this networking event presents a unique opportunity to develop meaningful and valuable business relations.
