Chiefs or Indians?

A successful 4th edition of the CIO Day in Noordwijkerhout! Were you there?

With around 600 attendees representing 24 nationalities, the CIO Day was a beautiful busy event. The attendees followed an almost complete English program. This was a good call, hearing from the positive reactions.

The topic of the CIO Day ‘Chiefs or Indians’ was all about Leadership and High Performance Information Culture, which by smart effort of information technology, a big contribution of presentations could be delivered to the organization. Exclusive Master Classes, (given by Manfred Kets de Vries, René Boender and others), an exclusive CIO VIP Diner, CIO expert- and Roundtable Sessions were the framework of November 24 & 25, 2008. Part of the CIO VIP Diner was the auction named CharITy, led by Christie’s and raised € 60.000,- this year!

Rob de Haas of ABN AMRO has been selected as CIO of the Year 2008. A jury of five has chosen him as successor of Aloys Kregting, CIO of the Year 2007, first CIO of Numico and now CIO of DSM.

Besides the annual CIO Day, we also facilitate the CIO community and the whole IT-community by publishing magazines (CIO Magazine and TITM), organizing more events (like Year Congres IT Transformation), exclusive Roundtable sessions, study trips, Master Classes (CIO Academy), IT Master Trainings (ICT Academy).

Through this, I would like to thank every attendee for their presence during the CIO Day 2008. For those, who unfortunately couldn’t be there, we have beautiful moments, reactions of participants and presentations available on this website.

With Kindest Regards,
