CIO Summit Latin America
March 7-9, 2012 - Riviera Maya, Mexico
The
current economic climate is calling upon all executives to operate with
an increasingly acute and sensitive approach to all aspects of
business. While those who steer their respective companies value
executives who can follow through and implement corporate programs and
initiatives, the unstable nature of the times requires forward-thinking
and visionary executives who operate and make decisions outside the
vacuum of directives. It is up to each and every CIO to seek out and
take responsibility for the most cost-effective and productive IT
systems and strategies in order to create opportunity out of an
increasingly rocky landscape. Quite frankly, IT is a game changer. IDC
is a content partner for this event. Consulting Director, Roberto Gutierrez, will participate.

their peers and examine their management objectives in a relaxed and
vibrant environment. Venues
