Leading World-Class IT and Security in the GenAI Era
3:30PM – 4:00PM | Grand Ballroom CD

In this keynote, Isaac Sacolick, former CIO, bestselling author on digital transformation, and CIO.com contributor, will share what world-class IT and security looks like today in the genAI era. Every wave of digital transformation presents new opportunities, responsibilities, and risks for technology and security leaders. Boards and the C-suite are demanding that IT deliver business value from GenAI, yet few agentic AI experiments are being deployed into production. Data governance is now an even more important aspect of AI governance, which must include policies, defensive postures, and prioritized strategic opportunities. Meanwhile, copilots, vibe coding, and AI agents in IT are causing many IT leaders to ponder whether genAI spells the end of IT as we know it.
