It is scheduled for December 3, 2026.

The summit takes place at Hyatt Regency Houston West in Houston.

The organizer identifies Houston CIOs, CIO practitioners, and thought leaders as part of its audience.

It suits sitting CIOs in Houston who want candid peer conversation rather than product pitches, since the one-day format combines keynotes, breakouts, boardroom sessions and matched one-on-one meetings. Gartner runs it and security and data vendors such as Netskope and Cyera sponsor, so those vendors get a room of senior buyers; staff below CIO level, or anyone wanting deep technical training, will get less.

Executive summits for CIOs at hotel venues usually call for business casual to business professional, typically blazers and open-collar shirts, often without ties.
