Last weekend CIOs and IT leaders across Canada convened at The Rosseau by JW Marriott in Muskoka for ITWC’s CIO Summit, sponsored by Rogers.
It was a beautiful weekend outside with mild and warm weather but the discussions occurring inside were far from mild. Businesses are at the cusp of yet another technology-driven transformation and the pressure is on for IT to produce cutting-edge innovations and lead their organizations into the 21st century. Leaders in IT deliberated over these matters through panel discussions, workshops and an insightful keynote address. For a snapshot of the weekend, check out the tweets below capturing the event at the hashtag #CIOsummit.

The challenge is not getting IT to talk to the business. It’s getting the different business lines to talk to each other. #CIOSummit — Jim Love (@CIOJimLove) September 21, 2015
