Annual Conferences

CIO Forum - Established in 1999, the CIO Forum is a yearly meeting of top chief information officers, technology strategists, and academic researchers, in Mid-Atlantic states. Events are highly interactive and focus on the most important issues confronting technology strategists in the emerging digital economy, including e-commerce, the IT talent shortage, Internet strategy, multi-sourcing, next generation architectures, and other topics.

Participants come from high-tech firms, financial services companies, consulting companies, manufacturing, service industries, non-profit organizations, and federal, state, and local government agencies. The CIO Forum is sponsored by the Center for Electronic Markets and Enterprises (CEME) and the Center for Health Information and Decision Systems (CHIDS) at the Robert H. Smith School of Business.
