Leading American business media outlet Forbes has announced that it will be hosting its first ever Forbes CIO Summit Europe in London on 24 May.

“Advances in digital transformation, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data analytics offer the chance for CIOs to play a central role in driving enterprise growth and value,” Forbes states on the Forbes CIO Summit Europe website.

“At the same time, the rising security risks that come with modern existence are also at the top of every agenda. Here again, the CIO is the key driver of risk mitigation, playing both offense and defense.”

“Drawing from Forbes’ deep insight into the global CIO community, the CIO Summit Europe has been developed to provide an intimate dialogue opportunity for today’s best practitioners to discuss the issues that are impacting their companies and careers,” said Charles Yardley, Senior Vice President and Managing Director for Europe at Forbes.

Those attending include Jacqueline Guichelaar, Global CIO of Thomas Reuters; Karenann, Chief Digital Officer of GSK and former CIO of Walmart; and Floor Bleaker, Global CIO of Movenpick Hotels & Resorts.
