Now in its 7th successful year, CIO CROWN is a definitive gateway for enterprise technology knowledge exchange.
Technology is no longer a spectator sport for business. In fact, it’s the very game plan that’ll help organizations lead the way in a digital era. For companies seeking to wring a measure of success from today’s digital paradigm, help simply does not come without a technology enabled business strategy.
This was the message that resonated at the recently concluded CIO CROWN 2019. Over 175 top IT decision makers, practitioners and specialists from across industry verticals congregated for the seventh edition of CIO CROWN. Now in its 7th successful year, CIO CROWN is a definitive gateway for enterprise technology knowledge exchange.

The conference featured a blend of interactive sessions including vertical focussed CIO power panels, thought leader talks, keynote sessions by industry practitioners where the speakers shared their experiences around making digital happen.
