Having had the pleasure of interviewing a vast number of technology executives over the years, there are some who have risen above the rest. These include the likes of John Hinshaw, the Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Officer of Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, Andi Karaboutis, the Executive Vice President of Technology and Business Solutions at Biogen, Linda Clement-Holmes, the board-level CIO of P&G, Ben Fried, the CIO of Google, Stephanie von Friedeburg, the board-level CIO of the World Bank Group, Roger Gurnani, the Chief Information and Technology Architect of Verizon, among many others. See each of these executives speak on stage at the second annual Forbes CIO Summit at the Ritz Carlton at Half Moon Bay, south of San Francisco. Request an invitation through this link.

Forbes CIO Summit

Like last year, I have invited my chief information officer contacts, and Forbes has brought members of the various categories that they know so well: billionaires, CEOs, like Marc Benioff of Salesforce.com, Midas List venture capitalists like Lars Dalgaard, founder and CEO of SuccessFactors and now a partner at Andreessen Horowitz, 30-under-30 award winners, and the like.  The conversation is to business-first technology executives who are looking for an edge.

This year, we will not only showcase the best executives, but we will also award the first ever CIO Growth Champion Award (in partnership with Metis Strategy). It will be bestowed upon CIOs who are leading innovative efforts that have led to demonstrable top-line growth. If you are the CIO of a company that is in excess of $1 billion in revenue per year, you qualify.  Submit an application on the CIO Summit website here. Winners will be recognized at the CIO Summit, join in an onstage conversation with me, and have the opportunity to be featured in my Technovation column on Forbes.com.

Those who attended the first annual Forbes CIO Summit saw the likes of Fred Smith and Rob Carter (Founder/CEO and CIO of FedEx respectively), Jim Goodnight (CEO of the SAS Institute), Frank Blake and Matt Carey (Then CEO and CIO of Home Depot), among many others. Attendees said, “Fantastic meeting so many amazing and talented people.” “Time well spent… High impact discussions sun up to sun down.” ”Great topics, attendees, and conversation!” “… a great meaty event.” We hope to see you at Half Moon Bay.
