Virtual: Leadership That Holds Under Pressure: The CIO Imperative in 2026

March 3, 2026 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (EST)

Description

AI is accelerating everything  - how decisions are made, how work gets done, and how organizations compete. For CIOs and CIO successors, this moment brings opportunity, but also pressure. Expectations are higher, visibility is greater, and the margin for unclear leadership is shrinking.


AI won’t replace leaders.
But it will reveal them.


In an AI-enabled organization, leadership is no longer just about technical expertise. It’s about judgment, clarity, and trust  - especially when things are complex, high-stakes, or uncertain.

This interactive session is your opportunity to pause, reflect, and recalibrate how you lead in this new reality. Using the start of the year as a natural leadership checkpoint, we’ll help you step back and get intentional about how you show up as a leader - not just what you deliver.

By the end of our time together, you’ll have a clear, practical leadership brand statement that reflects how you create value, build trust, and lead with confidence at the enterprise level.


Here’s what you’ll gain:

  • Clarity on how you are experienced as a leader today
  • Insight into the leadership strengths you can leverage more intentionally
  • A CIO-level leadership brand statement that holds under pressure
  • Practical actions you can take immediately to lead with greater presence and confidence

This is not an AI deep dive.  It’s a leadership reset for CIOs ready to lead more intentionally in 2026.


Join us to sharpen your leadership edge, strengthen your presence, and step confidently into the next level of enterprise leadership!


Open to CIOCAN Members & their *Qualified Non-Member Guests (*CIO/CISO/Senior IT Executive in a Leadership Role) 

 

Discussion lead by:
