Introduction

ITxpo is Technology in ActionAccelerating growth. Creating new connections. Driving greater agility. A powerful convergence of forces — mobile, social, cloud and information — is rapidly reshaping how business gets done now and in the future. CIOs and senior IT executives are at the center of this transformation, leading the creation of the digital enterprise.

At Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2013, attendees discovered how to seize new opportunities, forge strategic partnerships to drive change and evolve to become indispensable leaders in the digital world.

ApplicationsIn this track CIO’s learn how to address key issues such as governance, cost, modernization and mobility and how to plan, strategize and architect for their effects on an organization’s application portfolio. These are important because today’s CIOs face the challenges ofan application portfolio that lacks the agility to respond to the ever changing demands of an evolving global population. Increased consumer expectations and global economic pressures become true burdens when faced with a chaotic portfolio that has developed through a series of accidental architectures. Attendees will learn what it takes to be successful using new IT approaches.

Business Intelligence & Information ManagementIn this track, CIOs and IT leaders will learn how to tune-out the hype while developing solid enterprise strategies for leading BI, Analytics and Big Data initiatives--rather than leaving them to individual business units. Attendees will also take away ideas and approaches for how organizations across sectors are using information and analytics in innovative ways to transform business functions and industries. We will also address areas the end-to-end curation, management and deployment of information as an actual enterprise asset. Emerging topics will include sessions on digital marketing optimization, emergence of data discovery tools and mobile BI approaches.

CIOAfter a decade of limited innovation dominated by an internal focus on efficiency, today’s new technologies, global competition and new business models are forcing CIOs to take an outside-in view of the digital world and their role in it. This track is designed to help attendees discover how external factors — markets, channels, new business models and geopolitical challenges — shape expectations of IT and how CIOs should respond to them. The track uses three lenses that CIOs need to apply to their own situation:

•Business Progression: How will CIOs help transform their enterprises in an increasingly digital world? How will technology enhance business capabilities, leading to greater competitive advantage?

•Enterprise Problem: How will these external challenges affect the way CIOs conduct the business of IT? How will CIOs overcome internal hurdles and change IT’s value contribution?

•Personal Development: How can CIOs leverage the breadth of the IT experience into new enterprise roles? How to change the way CIOs and their staff are perceived as contributors in the enterprise?

IndustriesThe Industries Track will help CIOs and IT leaders respond to how consumerdriven standards and the convergence of mobile, cloud, social and digital information affect their industries. To succeed, organizations require the smarter decisions and dramatically more agile performance and partnerships made possible through intensely digital enterprises. Their leaders must be strategically aligned with industryspecific contexts and forces. In this track, attendees learn to master the analysis, technologies, skills, roles and priorities required.

Infrastructure & Operations: Data Center, Server, Storage and IT Operations, Mobile, Client Computing and CommunicationsInfrastructure Infrastructure and operations (I&O) leaders are facing historic challenges. Mobile, cloud, social and big data technologies are converging, creating an explosion of information access and usage. These sessions will help I&O decision makers derive greater value from existing processes and technologies and proactively pursue new ones. Attendees get a total immersion in newly released Gartner research, expert strategic and tactical advice, and insights into best practices of highly effective I&O organizations.

Strategic InitiativesThe 2013 Strategic Initiatives track will help CIOs and senior IT leaders capitalize on major business and technology trends, with special emphasis on the Nexus of Forces: Social, Mobile, Cloud, and Information. The content in this track is designed to be simultaneously provocative and pragmatic: new solutions are possible now that weren’t until recently, and organizations worldwide are creating new business opportunities and best practices. Attendees will learn what new IT approaches work to support current and emerging business strategies, while facing tough questions about whether they have the correct mix of partners and skill sets to be successful.
