CIO Summit Advisory Board
A privileged network of IT, Tech and Digital decision-makers
What is the role of the IDC Advisory Board?
As part of the CIO Summit, IDC France relies on an Advisory Board made up of recognized CIOs and IT decision-makers. This group co-builds a program aligned with the concrete priorities of IT leadership and market challenges.
Drawing on their field expertise, Advisory Board members shape an event designed by and for IT decision-makers, with conferences and discussions centered on key challenges: innovation, modernization, AI, performance and governance.

Your role as a member
