Cambridge, MA –Â ThomasNet today announced that Mark Holst-Knudsen, President, will be participating in an Executive Leadership Panel at the 2014 MIT Sloan CIO Symposium. This premier event on May 21st will provide CIOs with high level insight from leading academic research combined with the counsel of successful business leaders on how to lead their digital enterprises forward.
Now in its 11th year, the MIT Sloan CIO Symposium is a world class, one-day conference. Over 700 CIOs, senior IT executives and MIT thought leaders will network, collaborate, and explore how innovative technologies and leading-edge research can address the digital transformation.
"The CIO is ideally placed to lead the technical and cultural shifts necessary to bring their digital enterprises forward,” said Lindsey Anderson, Chair of the 2014 MIT Sloan CIO Symposium. “However, being ideally placed is no guarantee of future success. To meet this challenge, our speakers will provide attendees with actionable insight on how to embrace the organizational and technical changes needed as they guide their organizations in the months and years ahead."
The Symposium takes place Wednesday, May 21, 2014 from 7:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Kresge Auditorium on the MIT Campus, located at 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA.
