  • Chief AI Officer Summit (founded 2023): On Thursday December 14, 2023, we delivered the world’s first-ever event for Chief Artificial Intelligence Officers (CAIOs) and leaders in Enterprise Gen AI, hosted by the Institute for Experiential AI at Northeastern University in Boston MA.
  • CDO/CDAO Summits (founded 2013): On Wednesday December 13, 2023, we delivered the 10th annual CDAO Summit, hosted by the D’Amore-McKim School of Business and The Institute for Experiential AI at Northeastern University in Boston MA.

Taken together, our global community and events platform can help you to reach this coveted, C-level demographic both online and off, from targeted campaigns via our website, blog posts, social media, and email list; to intimate roundtables and CDO/CDAO/CAIO Summits, where you can meet these executives face-to-face.

Webinars (2020-Present):

During the 2020-2022 global pandemic, we produced and delivered online virtual webinars that consistently delivered targeted leads to meet the desires of our partners Alation, Collibra, IBM, Insight Partners, Sumo Logic, and Transmit Security, among others.

Webinar topics were both broad and deep, and included AI, Analytics, Automation, Cloud Migration, Ethics, Data Fabric, Governance, Privacy, Trust in Data, Hybrid Multicloud, Innovation, Regulation, among many others.

Sponsors looked to us to supply both c-level expert speakers, plus registered attendees who expressed interested in specific topics.

We consistently delivered 2-3x the number of targeted registrants that we were contractually obligated to provide.

For example, our bi-monthly 3-year campaign for IBM’s “AI Accelerator” team delivered thousands of targeted AI, analytics, and data registrants to IBM’s “CDO/CTO Summit” series of 16 online webinars and three live, in-person summits from 2020-2023.

You can see each campaign and all webinars below.

Collectively and individually, they showcase our ability to deliver c-level speakers and engaged audiences based on our sponsor’s desires.

The first Chief Digital Officer Summit reached that mark with ease, and I look forward to attending the next one.

– Eric Hellweg: Former Managing Director, Digital Strategy/Editorial Director at Harvard Business Review

 

 

David, here’s a handy C^3 test for conference value: Did I learn at least three new perspectives? Check. Did I meet at least three interesting people? Check. Did I take back at least three relevant pieces of news I can use? Check. Flying colors for the Chief Digital Officer Summit 2013! Thank you so much, and yes, I’d be very pleased to participate next year!

CDO Club: CDO/CDAO of the Year

The CDO Club gives the annual “CDO/CDAO of the Year” award to inspiring analytics, data, and digital leaders. The award recognizes both Chief Digital Officers (since 2013) and Chief Data/Analytics Officers (since 2016).

See select recipients below, and all winners of the CDO of the Year award here.
.


CDO Club: Hall of Fame

The CDO Club is the only organization tracking the ‘CDO to CEO’ career path – also known as the Hall of Fame – those CDOs who have become CEO/President or Board Director/Non Executive Director (NED).

Since 2011, more than 100 CDOs have made that leap, a startling statistic considering the limited number of executives who hold that exact title, and especially when compared to the much larger number of CIOs, CTOs, and CMOs who have not made that upward move.

In May 2018, we jointly pubished a report with Bain Capital on this trend titled “101 CDOs Who Have Become CEO/Presidentwhich can be downloaded here.

See our Hall of Fame page for all those who made this career move.
