Twin Cities CIO Forum : Overview

Vision and Definition Statement

To foster excellence in information technology in a CIO-friendly environment that provides a venue for education, networking and collaboration where members can share information freely and exchange experiences in peer-to-peer discussions.

A CIO Friendly Meeting Place

The Twin Cities CIO Forum aims to serve the following populations:

Executives responsible for information technology and/or the infusion of technology into products and services.
Generally by Title the Forum members will be Chief Information Officers (CIO’s) or have equivalent responsibilities within their respective organizations.
Company size represented in the Forum shall be companies with gross revenue of no less than $500,000,000.

The Twin Cities CIO Forum provides an intimate but diversified meeting place where CIO's are comfortable to network and have in-depth candid discussions with peers. How do we accomplish this?

All meetings are by invitation only (accepted Members only).
All regularly scheduled meetings are held on the second Wednesday of the month from September through May – 7:30am to 9:00am. Sites to be announced.
There is only one type of membership – CIO Practitioner. Vendors of technology will not be allowed membership or participation in meetings.
The aim of providing a forum for CIO's to meet and be able to discuss and learn in an environment of their liking does not allow for marketing activities, vendor solicitations and/or recruiting efforts at its functions.
