CIOsynergy, a gathering of carefully selected IT leaders to represent the who's who of enterprise IT in New York City. A symposium that has redefined problem solving within the office of the CIO where we explore the successes, failures, and battles of these officers on the frontlines of innovation.
Moderated by Scott Shuster, acclaimed former ABC NEWS foreign correspondent, producer of NPR’s “All Things Considered”, and the long time chairman of more than 200 BusinessWeek magazine C-suite events, we will discuss how IT transformation, consumption, and management will drive change and innovation over the next 5 years. This is the ultimate roadmap for the office of the CIO. Join us for this unparalleled networking opportunity within a rich learning environment in the heart of the New York City Metro Area on June 25th.
CIOsynergy unites IT leaders representing some of the largest brands; a rare opportunity to exchange ideas within a group of leaders that chase the common goal of advancement through innovation. We could not have selected a better venue for this symposium then under the umbrella of an epicurean lunch and cocktails at the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel within midtown New York City.

The future of email - On premise, hybrid or cloud? Presented by Mimecast
One thing’s for certain; your email solution today will not be the solution you’ll be using in 5 years’ time.

Cybercrimes have increased at an alarming rate. Criminal groups have upped the ante to compromise networks and steal data through targeted cyber attack campaigns. Protecting against cybercrime has been one of the most pressing issues facing organizations today.
If you’re a sufficiently interesting target, you will be breached. In the past year alone, attacks have skyrocketed and the threat landscape has shifted. The focus has become “Are we compromised?” and “If we were to be compromised, how quickly could we contain, respond, and remediate?”
Nick Bennett, Senior Consultant for Mandiant, a FireEye Company, will discuss the current threat landscape and lessons learned from the latest breaches, and what you, as a CIO, can do to protect your organization.
