CIO Insights: The 2027 CIO Agenda: Risk, Resilience and What’s Next

Sponsored by CGI and Expedient

As CIOs look toward 2027, the technology agenda continues to get more complex. Leaders are being asked to accelerate innovation and AI adoption, modernize technology, manage costs and deliver measurable business value, all while protecting their organizations against an increasingly challenging cybersecurity environment.


So, what is rising to the top of the CIO agenda for 2027?


Join the Pittsburgh Technology Council for a candid conversation with technology leaders representing diverse industries as they share the priorities, risks and opportunities shaping their plans for the year ahead.


Cybersecurity will be a key part of the discussion. We'll explore how CIOs are responding to changing threats, where they continue to see vulnerabilities, how security investments are evolving, and how they are thinking about resilience and risk.


But the conversation won't stop at cybersecurity.


We'll also look at the broader technology decisions CIOs are making for 2027, including AI and emerging technology, modernization, technology investments, talent and the changing expectations of the CIO.
