CIO's Future of Digital Innovation Summit & Awards Canada

November 15-16, 2023

Last year, we introduced the inaugural CIO Awards for Canada and presented them at CIO’s Future of Digital Innovation Summit & Awards Canada in November 2022. The two-day summit on digital leadership included several CIOs sessions and concluded with a double awards ceremony, unveiling the 2022 Ingenious Awards winners, followed by a celebration of all of our CIO Awards Canada winners.

Several of CIO Awards Canada winners were featured during the summit, including the Region of Durham, Electrical Safety Authority, United Way Greater Toronto, CIBC and the Office of the Chief Coroner.

This year, join us virtually on November 15 as we explore best practices in digital innovation further, then celebrate a new group of award winning innovative projects from Canadian organizations at our in-person CIO Awards Canada gala on November 16. You’ll see how Canadian organizations are thriving with technology innovation, and you’ll meet executives and leaders from across multiple industries, whose collective experience won’t be found anywhere else.

Nominations are now closed!
