In today’s volatile, opportunity-rich environment, digital disruption is no longer an abstract concept; it’s the defining force reshaping industries, operating models, and customer expectations. For CIOs and CTOs, this shift is more than technological; it’s a mandate to lead transformation at the very heart of the business.
The Digital Disruption Summit is not just another conference. It’s a strategic gathering of technology leaders who are ready to confront what digital disruption really means for their organisations. We will bring digital to life through real-world case studies, candid conversations, and practical insights that speak directly to the challenges and opportunities CIOs and CTOs face every day.
Across keynotes, panel sessions, unconference sections and more, we’ll dive into technologies that are moving the needle. But more importantly, we’ll explore how these technologies will reshape your company’s value proposition, operating rhythm and even leadership expectations.
Digital disruption is not just a tech conversation though – it’s a business transformation story. So, we’ll be focusing on outcomes rather than the hype and asking such questions as:
• How do we unlock and scale innovation without increasing business complexity?
• How do we partner with the CEO and Execs to unlock new business models?
• How do we reorganise our teams and platforms to operate at speed and with agility and resilience?
October's summit is intentionally designed for CIOs and CTOs who are taking the next step. Driving the digital strategy to deliver shareholder value. You’ll walk away with new ideas, real-world lessons, and a renewed sense of your role as a business leader, not just a technology executive. You’ll experience conversations that are honest, practical, and energising.
We welcome all CIOs, CTOs, Heads of Technology and Transformation. Digital leaders who want to lead with impact, build meaningful relationships, and be on the front foot of industry disruption. Join us as we re-think what digital means – and what it makes possible.
‘Today's theme, Preparing For The Limelight, was a really good reminder that in IT we're not just a support action, but that we’re part of the business leadership group ... intimate event – you can easily ask and get questions answered.’
‘Lots of idea sharing ... and a lot of practical takeaways around how others are dealing with common issues ... I like the agenda – basically everything I’m dealing with day-to-day ... this is a key part of the CIO calendar.’
From acoustic drone detection in Ukraine to rapid prototyping in NHS hospitals, Oliver Rees, Head of AI and Innovation at Digi2al will unpack practical strategies innovators are using to modernise systems, reduce risk, and deliver value fast – even in turbulent conditions.
You’ll leave the session equipped with real world examples where leaders have embraced digital disruption and accelerated their business in ways that wouldn’t have possible without technology.
Watch this space!
