"I'm inspired by the collaborative spirit in the IT community! Discovered and attended my first CIOMeet hosting by CXO Inc. The day was filled with insightful panels moderated by Jenna Banks covering some common challenges. One topic was the importance of IT partnering with sales, operations, and finance to drive innovation and business success. Also discussed ways to enhance data quality and access to unlock it's full potential — the notion of data as the new gold. One of the highlights was rotating tables during each panel which encouraged us to connect and share experiences with fellow IT leaders. It was a reminder of the power when we come together to tackle shared challenges."
