Half Moon Bay / Summit CIO 2026

The summit takes place at the Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay in Half Moon Bay, California.

The stated audience includes CIOs, senior-level IT directors, and IT leaders.

It is most useful for CIOs and senior IT directors who want peer conversation on cloud, data and analytics, AI and security in a small invitation-style setting, since the program is shaped by an advisory board with members from TNT, Fox Networks Group and the US Department of Defense. Vendors can reach senior decision-makers, as MongoDB and Voyage.ai are among the listed speakers, but junior technical staff looking for hands-on training would get less from a leadership-level summit at a resort.

Executives at CIO summits at luxury resorts usually wear business casual, such as blazers and collared shirts without ties. Half Moon Bay in December is cool and foggy, so a jacket or light coat is useful for outdoor walks between sessions.
