CIO Boot Camp
IT Emergent: High Value Leadership in a Low Tolerance World
Monday - Tuesday, October 3-4, 2011
9:00 AM - 4:30 PM
Room 1E12
Let's be honest. We have been living in an information age since Joe Gutenberg figured out that writing on animal skins and cave walls was not scalable. Despite changing the world - repeatedly - IT folks have been continuously under-funded and under-appreciated. The only way that is going to change is via informed, innovative and inspired personal leadership. That is the topic of the CIO Boot Camp at Interop New York 2011.
Real world CIOs will share ‘war' stories about how to put real measurable value on the enterprise table in the emerging zones of IT heroism - cloud, mobility, analytics, social media and sustainability.
Participants will emerge from this two-day intensely interactive session with:
Self-Knowledge
Other Knowledge - How others are thinking
Environmental Knowledge - What is really happening in the tech world today
Movement Knowledge - What are the change vectors
Value Knowledge - Where money/mission value can be delivered
Session topics include:
Next Generation Leadership Realities
Managing Social Media
Vendor Management
Green/Sustainable IT
Collaboration
Benchmarking
IT Innovation
Business Analytics

Hear from past CIO Boot Camp attendees:
"The CIO Posse challenges and inspires. I have already put together ideas and strategies that I am working on. While these folks talk about multi-billion dollar enterprises, their ideas and advice are universal across enterprises of all sizes."
"The CIO Boot Camp was worth the entire cost of the Flex Pass."
"Thornton's wrap up presention on Day 2 of CIO Boot Camp was more than just entertaining--it was awesome."
"The open forum format is great for gaining information from the CIO panel, very insightful information and experience among them all!"
"The CIO Boot Camp was my highlight, it was inspiring and taught me a great deal of what areas I can focus on to move up in the IT world."
"Loving the no nonsense approach taken by CIOs."
"All speakers were full of energy. I feel I came away with some useful tips on how I can develop into a much better person as well as leader."
"Often when you go to a conference your primary thought is that you will never go to that conference again. The CIO Boot Camp was excellent and I would highly recommend it."
"The personal interactions with the panel was great. The people are amazing and inspiring."
"Great day at the InterOp conference! Cheryl Smith's presentation on the 1st 90 days as a CIO was one of the best I have ever heard! The availability of the speakers during lunch and breaks was fantastic, and I was excited to have the opportunity to get to know them better."
