CIO Connect: Staying Sane & Strategic in a Noisy Tech Landscape

April 2, 2026 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM (EDT)

Description

Unlike traditional webinars or networking events, CIO Connect is a peer-driven, informal online forum where you can connect directly with CIOs, CTOs, and IT leaders from across Canada.

This is your opportunity to engage in candid discussions, share insights, and collaborate on the challenges and innovations shaping today’s IT and business landscape. It’s why you joined CIOCAN—to connect, contribute, and lead.

Why Participate in CIO Connect?

  • Exclusive Networking: Build meaningful connections with CIOs and IT executives across Canada.
  • Member-Led Conversations: No sales pitches—just authentic, peer-driven discussions.
  • Actionable Insights: Walk away with strategies you can apply immediately in your role.
  • Shape the Conversation: Your voice helps drive thought leadership and research within the CIO community.

This month's topic

"Staying Sane & Strategic in a Noisy Tech Landscape"

  1. What’s your go-to strategy for staying focused in a tech-saturated world?
