Join this breakfast with peers on the patio to start the morning - good coffee, good food, and a chance for everyone to gather before we move into the program.

Economic volatility is affecting technology projects around the world. Some have been delayed, some accelerated, and others cancelled. In this keynote, we’ll dive into macro-economic and geopolitical issues such as inflation, tariffs, wars, and cautious business sentiment, the impact these issues have on organizations, and the role that C-level changes in technology play in the big picture.

Speaker:

What is the CIO’s strategic agenda for the next 24 months? SAPinsider will share new research data on what’s shaping the CIO agenda — from integration to AI adoption to IT cost pressures — followed by a lively discussion with senior technology leaders. We’ll dig into the complexities of these different, and often competing, priorities and explore how you can successfully navigate your own priority list over the next year.

A quick pause to recharge, grab a coffee, and keep conversations moving between sessions. 

SAP S/4HANA is more than a migration — it's a business reinvention lever. In this open, high-trust roundtable, SAPinsider will first explain our research on real adoption rates for SAP S/4HANA, RISE, and Cloud solutions, then senior IT leaders will share what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what they would do differently if starting today. This is your chance to gain unfiltered insight into how CIOs are navigating complexity, accelerating value realization, and aligning SAP transformation with board-level goals.

Speakers:

Following the CIO Agenda panel we’ll work together in roundtable groups to identify the top issues on your own agenda for the coming year and the challenges and opportunities you see. Then each table will present their priorities and discuss them with the whole group.

Step out to the patio for a relaxed, open-air lunch that keeps the morning’s conversations going. 

The journey to the cloud can be long and winding. Successfully navigating an end-to-end cloud journey requires aligning cloud strategy with business goals, mitigating risk, and building the right capabilities. In this peer-led discussion, you’ll hear practical advice from your peers who’ve made the move and learned the lessons — and share your own perspective on what it takes to architect for agility, resilience, and scale.

Speakers:

Digital transformation starts with data — but most enterprises are still grappling with fragmentation, governance gaps, and outdated architecture.

Equip yourself with practical approaches for building a future-ready data core — from architecture to ownership to business alignment.

While many organizations have AI strategies, few have crossed the chasm to sustained impact. This session explores what it takes to move from proof of concept to operational scale — aligning talent, technology, and governance to turn AI from vision into measurable business value.  You’ll hear how leading enterprises are embedding AI into execution — not just roadmaps — to drive results across lines of business.

Speakers:

Enterprise value from SAP, and your other key vendors, doesn’t come from the software alone – it comes from the strength of the agreement and the relationship. In this discussion, leaders share hard-won insights from both negotiating favorable contracts that maximize value and managing those high-stakes agreements that build in predictability. From indirect access and license optimization to renewal protections and long-term flexibility, you’ll walk away with peer tested strategies to lower costs, maximize ROI, and minimize risk in your next agreement and turn your vendors into strategic partners.

Speakers:

AI is not just changing how we work — it’s reshaping who does the work, and what roles technology leaders must now play. This session promises a lively discussion on how the CIO is becoming a key player in talent strategy: driving workforce planning, redefining skills, and reshaping the structure of IT itself. We’ll explore how AI adoption is transforming leadership, team dynamics, and organizational design — and what CIOs must do to lead both people and platforms through this next wave of enterprise change.

Speakers:

In this closing discussion, we’ll synthesize key takeaways from the event and look ahead to what’s next. What will define technology leadership over the next 12 - 24 months? What will it take to lead through accelerating AI, platform shifts, and the reinvention of enterprise IT? Expect a candid conversation and hear final insights on what's coming as we shape the topics, questions, and innovations that will define the enterprise tech agenda in the future.
