CIO Community Executive Summit UK & Ireland 2026 in London

The CIO Community Executive Summit for UK & Ireland returns to central London on 14 October 2026 as part of the Gartner C-Level Communities calendar (formerly Evanta). Designed by and for CIOs, the programme focuses on the decisions that matter most to senior technology leaders: CIO/CISO leadership alignment, enterprise-scale AI deployment and security, and the governance of data integrity across complex organisations. The day combines interactive sessions, peer-to-peer working discussions and pre-scheduled private meetings, giving CIOs a rare setting to exchange candid views with counterparts from leading UK and Irish enterprises. Attendees typically leave with actionable frameworks for scaling AI responsibly, strengthening cyber risk oversight and modernising data governance. Hosted at 155 Bishopsgate (Liverpool St, London EC2M 3YD), the summit sits within walking distance of Liverpool Street and Moorgate stations, and minutes from Shoreditch, the City core and Broadgate. Hotel demand in the area peaks around mid-October, so early reservation is recommended for attendees travelling in from across the UK, Ireland and continental Europe. Participation is aimed at CIOs and equivalent senior IT executives. For exact registration criteria, agenda and timings, consult the official Gartner C-Level Communities calendar.
