2025 attendees note that hearing from other CIOs is an invaluable highlight of their EAB partnership:

  • “This was my first time attending, and I found it very useful. It was great to network with other CIOs, and the content was relevant to the issues I’m dealing with at my campus.”
  • “I find these CIO Roundtables to be some of the best professional development meetings I do.”
  • “One of my favorite events. This meeting is packed with information and allows for excellent knowledge sharing and networking.”

Agenda Highlights

During our time together, we’ll discuss the following topics. As this research is ongoing, some topics may be subject to change.

Envisioning the Future AI Will Require

  • Engage in a scenario planning session to imagine how AI will transform society—and ultimately redefine higher education’s (and the CIO’s) role.

Designing the IT Organization for the Era of AI

  • Explore how AI is reshaping what IT owns, how teams are structured, and which skills will matter most. EAB will highlight case studies from early movers preparing for a radically different future.

Leading Through Volatility

  • Gain insight into how senior leadership teams are navigating policy shocks, political polarization, and shrinking enrollment—all while advancing institutional priorities across IT and the entire campus.

Preparing for the Coming Data Demands

  • From compliance and cost containment to performance tracking and public scrutiny, data expectations are surging. EAB will lead a candid conversation on how CIOs are preparing to meet them.
