AI Unleashed: Transforming Industries with Integrated Intelligence
The last two years have seen unprecedented AI-driven innovation, boosted by the adoption of generative AI (GenAI) across entire organizations. C-suite executives and technology leaders across industries have been making significant investments in AI-led intelligence architecture and processes, with an increasing focus on advanced big data analytics, next-gen intelligent automation, intelligent applications, AIOps, AI-enabled security, and the convergence of AI and other technologies such as 5G connectivity, cloud, and IoT. Indeed, IDC's EMEA Emerging Tech Survey revealed that 72% of EMEA organizations are already using AI, or planning to do so in the next two years, highlighting its substantial impact across the region. This all promises an exciting, yet unpredictable future.
Business and technology leaders are facing countless opportunities and challenges on multiple fronts as they try to build strategies aimed at leveraging the full potential of AI. In order to be fully prepared, they must be able to identify critical developments in real time. They must also establish long-term strategies to ensure the fastest, most cost-effective, and fully trusted AI implementations, including the deployment of GenAI technologies at scale across business processes and the IT stack. Only then can their organizations successfully take on the challenges of an AI world and benefit from improved business agility and innovation while effectively mitigating the numerous associated risks.
The 2025 edition of the IDC Middle East CIO Summit will feature a stellar lineup of C-suite executives, influential analysts, industry thought leaders, international speakers, and market-leading solution providers. Together, they will discuss AI's role as the leading technology enabler of business strategy and the endless potential it provides enterprises across the region. This premier gathering of ICT experts will examine the industry's hottest topics, trends, and challenges, providing essential guidance on adapting to an unpredictable business landscape, implementing new business models, and scaling massively in the AI-powered digital economy.

Track A: Talent Development and the Demand for New Skills: How Do You Structure Your Team Optimally?
13:42 - 14:12
Talent Development and the Demand for New Skills: How Do You Structure Your Team Optimally?
IT organizations are having to transform themselves to meet the evolving needs of the future enterprise, and CIOs are increasingly being tasked with leading this transformation as IT becomes the enterprise operating system. As the world of work continues to evolve and organizations shift to hybrid work models, new challenges and opportunities present themselves.
Track B: Maximizing IT Performance with the Right IT Operating Models
13:42 - 14:12
Maximizing IT Performance with the Right IT Operating Models
Organizations are in a state of perpetual evolution toward everything digital, with the IT function evolving with it. CIOs must keep up and stay ahead, implementing models that enable high-velocity change, consistent governance, and a comprehensive talent strategy. If implemented correctly, organizations can reap massive rewards from maximized IT performance, including increased efficiency, improved risk management, clearly defined roles, and improved cost effectiveness. However, change management involves significant risk, and a failed IT transformation can be highly detrimental to the entire organization, making a clearly defined IT operating model vital to helping the organization remain agile moving forward.
Track C: Realizing Optimal Business Value from IT
13:42 - 14:12
Realizing Optimal Business Value from IT
Since building a digital business is now an imperative for success, the role of IT and CIOs in business transformation strategies and initiatives has become more critical than ever before. They are responsible for putting together a technology mesh that fits the exact needs of their organizations, creating an infrastructure that delivers optimal business value. However, this can only be realized by aligning with LOBs on the business impact of technology initiatives and establishing KPIs/metrics for business outcomes from digital transformation projects that show the real value and contribution of IT to business transformation initiatives.
Track D: Vendor Selection and Management: Best Practices and What to Look Out For
13:42 - 14:12
Vendor Selection and Management: Best Practices and What to Look Out For
IT sourcing and procurement professionals working with demanding workloads and deadlines have little time for an in-depth review of technology markets and vendors, sourcing best practices, and specific IT investment opportunities and partnerships. Given the rapid pace of change we have come to expect from the technology market, IT leaders face key sourcing challenges related to digital transformation and the evolving role of vendor management within the enterprise, requiring actionable intelligence on best practices for driving better deals and reducing costs while continuously growing vendor relationships.
