This year’s iOpener event will bring together CIOs, Entrepreneurs, IT Professionals and students to brainstorm around what fosters and contributes to an IT culture of innovation. Members of the Chicago Information Technology community will moderate roundtable discussions with iOpener attendees to discuss the criteria an organization must have in order to develop and grow a culture of innovation. Not only will this eye opening event leave you with a collection of new concepts you can bring back to your own organization, the ideas will be used as the criteria to identify the 2009 i.c.stars’ CIO of the Year. |
