On 28 October 2026, 45 Degrees, part of the Cronos Group, will host the next edition of its highly regarded CIO Roundtable, bringing together CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, IT Directors, and technology leaders for an afternoon of strategic discussion, peer exchange, and practical insights.
This edition focuses on a challenge shared by many organizations today: how to move beyond cost pressure and AI hype to create measurable business value.
Over the past few years, companies have invested heavily in cloud technologies, digital transformation initiatives, and AI. While these investments have created new opportunities, technology leaders continue to face complex questions. How can IT costs remain under control? How can technology teams deliver faster while maintaining governance and quality? How can organizations reduce complexity and ensure that innovation leads to tangible business outcomes? And how should leaders approach the increasingly important build-versus-buy decisions that will shape tomorrow’s technology landscape?
Rather than offering theoretical answers, the CIO Roundtable provides a platform for open dialogue and practical learning. Through real-world customer cases, expert insights, and interactive debate, participants will explore how leading organizations are transforming their IT function from a perceived bottleneck into a true business accelerator.
What sets this event apart is its format. The CIO Roundtable is intentionally designed as a small-scale gathering where meaningful conversations can take place. Attendees benefit not only from the content itself, but also from the opportunity to exchange experiences with peers facing similar strategic challenges. Previous editions brought together more than 70 CIO’s & Technology Leaders and received strong feedback for the value of the discussions, the openness of the conversations, and the quality of the peer network.
The program includes an introduction from the 45 Degrees team, customer success stories, an interactive panel discussion with industry experts, and concludes with a networking dinner where participants can continue the conversation in an informal setting.
