Description

This is a quarterly opportunity for c-suite and senior tech leaders to openly and safely discuss critical issues with others in their peer group.

TOPIC: The Pros and Cons of Cloud Adoption for Your Business

A Harvard Business Review Business Survey found that 69% of respondents said that more than half of their organizations’ infrastructure and applications will be in the cloud in two years. Gartner reports that global end-user spending on public cloud services is expected to exceed $480 billion in 2022. Where is your business on the cloud adoption continuum? Whether you are fully in the cloud, partially in the cloud, or considering moving to the cloud, this will be a chance for you to network with other leaders and discuss experiences.

We will have a panel of IT executives representing banking, education, telecommunications, and logistics as they discuss where their own organizations reside on this continuum, plans for the future, and challenges they face with cloud adoption.

Our Panelists:

• Jordan Smith, President, Broadwave, LLC
• Nick Lofaro, Vice President and Chief Information Officer, Guaranty Bank
• Dan Brewer, Vice President of Information Technology, Wilson Logistics
• Eric Kyle, Chief Technology Officer, Ozarks Technical Community College

Our Moderator is Todd Murren.
