Topical and engaging 90-minute virtual CISO summit has drawn thousands of top-tier security leaders and technology executives since early March, focused on leading courageously and compassionately in a crisis
WESTPORT, CT. – May 29, 2020 – HMG Strategy, the world’s leading digital platform for connecting technology executives to reimagine the enterprise and reshape the business world, has become the #1 producer of Virtual CIO and CISO Summits since shifting to a digital events format in early March.
HMG Strategy produced 10 Virtual Summits, Virtual Briefings and webinars in the first 30 days of the work-at-home environment – drawing 150 to 300+ technology executives to each event – with 40+ Virtual Events scheduled through July 2020.
These 90-minute virtual summits are focused on the courageous leadership qualities that CIOs, CTOs, CISOs and technology executives must demonstrate during times of crisis. The all-star casts that are assembled for each of these events also explore the top challenges and opportunities facing technology executives in the work-from-home environment – including how to keep employees engaged and motivated – along with how they are working with the executive team to reimagine the business and the future of work as regional economies begin to open back up.
“When the world changed two months ago, we pivoted immediately to a virtual events model, recognizing that technology executives needed a way to stay connected with one another and share the lessons they’ve learned from leading through this crisis,” says Hunter Muller, HMG Strategy’s President and CEO. “Since March 12, we have drawn thousands of engaged technology leaders to our virtual events while our competitors have stood idly by. We will continue to draw on the feedback from our regional Advisory Boards and top technology executives who comprise the 400,000-strong HMG community to make our events more interactive and even better going forward.”
HMG Strategy’s next virtual event is the Chicago CIO Virtual Summit on Tuesday, June 2 at 1 p.m. CT. Top-tier CIOs and technology executives who will be speaking at the Chicago CIO Virtual Summit will include:
