Florida CIO Summit 2026 at Le Méridien Dania Beach

The Florida CIO Community Executive Summit brings the region's chief information officers together for a single working day at Le Méridien Dania Beach in Dania Beach, Florida. It runs under the Gartner C-Level Communities banner (formerly Evanta) and is built by and for CIOs, so the agenda follows the challenges members bring with them. The day covers the themes shaping the executive agenda: CIO and CISO leadership alignment, taking enterprise AI from pilot to scale, securing AI deployments, and governing data integrity across the business. Expect interactive sessions paired with facilitated roundtables where attendees compare what is genuinely working inside their own organizations. The format is compact and trade-only. Networking blocks and private meetings give CIOs room to connect with peers from other Florida enterprises without a crowded vendor floor. It is an executive working day rather than a public exhibition. Attendees coming from outside the area tend to stay along the Griffin Road corridor, close to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and the beachfront, so the morning commute to the venue stays short.
