Annual and Forthcoming Events
CIO Forum
Established in 1999, the
CIO Forum is a
yearly meeting of top chief information officers, technology strategists and academic
researchers in the mid-Atlantic states. The Smith School hosts annual CIO
Forums in October-November every year at Van Munching Hall, presented by the
Center for Electronic Markets and Enterprises (CEME) and the Center for Health
Information and Decision Systems (CHIDS). Every year the Forum centers around a
central theme. 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. Check back this summer for details and registration information
for the 9th Annual CIO Forum, either at the

Other/Past Events
CHIDS - NSF I/UCRC Planning Meeting March 15-16th, 2007
The National Science Foundation has awarded CHIDS a planning grant to explore
the possibility of becoming an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC).
This is a highly prestigious award and a strong signal that CHIDS is well positioned
to be a focal catalyst for bringing multiple stakeholders together. In a planning
meeting on March 15-16, 2007,over 45 attendees discussed and crafted CHIDS' research
agenda over two days. As a follow up to this meeting, CHIDS was invited to participate
in the ‘NSF I/UCRC 2008 Annual Meeting’ on ‘Partnering for Innovation: Collaborating
Across Sectors, Agencies and Institutions’ in January 2008. Jibanananda Khuntia
represented CHIDS in the meeting and interacted with other I/UCRC centers leaders.
CHIDS is working toward submitting the full proposal in Spring 2008 for the final
grant.
