6 answeredCIO / CTO Forum 2026 starts on November 5, 2026.
The 2026 forum is held in Phoenix, Arizona.
The 2026 forum is advertised as having no cost to attend.
The intended audience includes CIOs, CTOs, and education technology leaders in Arizona's K-12 community.
It is most useful for K-12 CIOs, CTOs and IT staff in Arizona, since the speakers are largely practitioners from districts such as Gilbert Public Schools, Chandler Unified and Agua Fria Union High School District, and the forum is no-cost. Several sessions come from vendor-side speakers at Advanced Network Management and CDW Education, so district leaders should expect some solution-provider content, and IT leaders outside Arizona or in higher education or corporate settings would get less from it.
Attendees at K-12 education technology events usually wear business casual, such as slacks or khakis with a polo or button-down shirt, and light layers suit Phoenix in November.
