EVENT OVERVIEW

Make plans now to join CIOs, CTOs and other IT leaders on 24 Oct 2024 at the leading CIO conference in Hong Kong. At the conference you’ll hear how the CIO’s opportunities and responsibilities are expanding – and continue to do so in good times and bad. What is clear is that the CIO is expected to focus the organisation’s attention and energy towards delivering business outcomes.

CIOs need to orchestrate peers, partners and the IT organization toward the business objectives. With a small, but powerful set of practices, CIOs will be the outcome-driven leader the organization needs,” said Christie Struckman, VP Analyst at Gartner.

The conditions for 2024 reflect a consistent theme of the past few years with uncertainties and volatility continuing to test the mettle of leadership across the board, the executive suite, and down the functional lines of the organisation.

The common thread is the recognition that technology will be central to not only achieving adaptive resilience but uncompromising growth – the Board knows this, and the Executive Suite is counting on this. For the CIO, the task of delivering business outcomes is all the more challenging when faced with calls for greater use of technology to power business initiatives, restrained budgets/resources, and greater pressures for accountability not just for what has been spent but for what is yet to come.

The 2nd FutureCIO Hong Kong Conference is back to Kowloon Shangri-La Hong Kong on 24 October 2024, bringing together seasoned IT professionals in Hong Kong to discover the behind-the-scenes machinations that will drive to the state of innovation and discuss:

  • Optimising digital platforms for AI and D&A delivery and consumption

  • Partnering with business teams for co-delivery
  • Managing technology financials
  • Modernising foundational digital platforms
  • Achieving better outcomes with enterprise software innovation and disruption

Keynote I: Improving Resiliency in Digital Channels

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, businesses are increasingly reliant on digital channels to connect with customers, deliver services, and drive revenue. However, maintaining the reliability, performance, and security of these digital channels presents a significant challenge.

Organisations look to drive better business outcomes but often have difficulty overcoming challenges such as data overload, tool sprawl, and organizational resistance while doing so. Teams are overloaded and unable to keep pace with the ever-increasing demands of the business and ultimately this leads to burn out and unsatisfactory customer experiences.

In this presentation, we will explore strategies for fostering a culture of observability and share how other organisations have driven innovation, optimised their costs and mitigated risks and delivered exception customer experiences.

Harris Wong, General Manager & Regional Director, Greater China Region, DYNATRACE

Panel Discussion II: Ready for GenAI: Building the Right IT Infrastructure for Success

2024 is the year of Generative AI (Gen AI). 2024 Work Trend Index mentions that 88% of knowledge workers in Hong Kong use GenAI at work while 86% of AI users are bringing their own AI tools to work – a testament that employees in Hong Kong are much more willing to empower themselves to adopt innovations than most other regions.

With more organisations in Hong Kong deploying gen AI at work, building the right IT infrastructure to harness AI is key. From networking to compute to storage, embedding AI into the business requires a different kind of framework than traditional IT. What are the best practices and innovations that IT leaders must undertake in adopting the latest AI trends, thus accommodate the changing business needs and future growth?

  • Becoming an AI-empowered organisation

Keynote III: Navigating the Generative AI Revolution: Strategies for Sustainable Business Impact

Generative AI has seen a meteoric rise in 2023, with companies across industries racing to understand and experiment with this disruptive technology. However, to truly unlock its business value, organisations must shift to a “production mindset” – one that considers cost, latency, and responsible AI in addition to pure model performance. This presentation will explore the key trends and opportunities in the Generative AI (GenAI) space, from transforming customer experiences to boosting employee productivity.

  • Understanding how enterprise’s proprietary data is the true differentiator to build unique, customized applications

Panel Discussion VI: Embedding IT in Business Strategy

IDC predicts that by 2026, 60% of CIOs will find their roles being challenged by line-of-business (LOB) counterparts who can better demonstrate the ability to align technology with organisation’s mission and customers.

As an enabler that solves business’s problems and needs, IT is a powerful catalyst for business’ progress, innovation and efficiency. Therefore, to emerge as a true business enabler, CIOs must have profound understanding of the organisation’s wider goals and act as business’ strategic partner.
