D. Operations: Centralized, Distributed, Cloud
E. Integrating Edge
F. Enabling Security
G. Skills, Organization and Leadership
H. Optimizing Costs and Value
Enterprises are now challenged more than ever challenged to rethink business models as they embrace disruptive practices, trends and technologies, forcing them into fundamental change. How they leverage and enable ecosystems is disrupted further by pressures to reduce environmental footprints and embrace sustainability initiatives. This track explores the balance between ensuring operational stability and embracing these disruptive influences.
A. Disruptive Practices, Trends and Technologies
Tracks
Organizations with a cloud strategy and roadmap are in a better position to achieve better outcomes from cloud computing than those without one. They have more coherent approaches to cloud usage, costs and cloud migrations. They anticipate both the benefits and potential downsides of cloud use, attempting to exploit the benefits while minimizing the downsides. This track explores how to meet your organization’s stakeholder and business needs for cloud by creating and developing a strategy and roadmap of how to enable and exploit cloud and demonstrate value.
B. Cloud Cookbook
Tracks
Many organizations are under immense pressure to deliver agile application and integration architectures and agile user experiences to meet rapidly changing anywhere business needs. I&O leaders face a world that requires increasingly complex architecture, effective integration patterns, expanded platform capabilities, disciplined yet federated delivery practices and versatile skills. This track explores how to use a product-focused mindset, infrastructure as code and aggressive automation to establish and develop platforms that enable the agility required to empower the anywhere business.
C. Platform Engineering
Tracks
The anywhere business is becoming increasingly distributed, fragmented and complex, creating a management and operational nightmare. Hybrid workload operations, centralized core systems and cloud management require new approaches. This track focuses on how operations teams maintain, administer and support centralized, distributed and cloud operations practices and technologies.
D. Operations: Centralized, Distributed, Cloud
Tracks
Edge computing initiatives are often deployed in an uncoordinated manner across the enterprise, resulting in operational and data silos. Designing edge systems is challenging due to their technical diversity and integration complexity. Exacerbating the problem is the proliferation of diverse and incompatible products. This track focuses on how organizations can integrate, deploy and operate edge systems to enable the anywhere business.
E. Integrating Edge
Tracks
Sourcing, Procurement and Vendor Management
Sustainability
Midsize Enterprise
Infrastructure Agility
Cloud Journey
Technical Insights
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
What does Agile even mean? Agile is a state of mind, a perspective: An organization pursues Agile, it doesn’t do agile. Agile I&O does not mean a cloning of agile development; instead, I&O must seek to embrace agile concepts that can be applied to I&O, as it strives to meet increasingly demanding business needs to deliver infrastructure platforms and services.
Infrastructure Agility
Spotlight Tracks
As infrastructures and enterprises evolve, usage of cloud services continues
to grow. Gain a clear understanding of the steps to take, in the right sequence, and the pitfalls to avoid in developing a successful cloud strategy.
Cloud Journey
Spotlight Tracks
These technical insight sessions are designed for drill-down analysis of critical topics within the infrastructure, operations and cloud strategies arena. They will be presented by analysts from our Gartner for Technical Professionals organization.
Technical Insights
Spotlight Tracks
Learn how to recruit and retain diverse talent and upskill your existing workforce. Create a culture of continuous exploration. Foster diversity, equity and inclusion
as a fundamental lever for motivation and engagement.

Sourcing, procurement and vendor management leaders must become catalysts for business-led IT sourcing while supporting diversity and sustainability. This spotlight track explores how leaders should reinvent the role by focusing on business outcomes through digitally enabled processes and tools and provide value by leveraging data.
Sourcing, Procurement and Vendor Management
Spotlight Tracks
I&O security is a critical component of an effective I&O infrastructure that
supports operational resilience, security and compliance. It is essential that
efforts to mitigate risk will also maintain agility in delivering customer value
while balancing cost. This track focuses on guiding I&O leaders in securing
and defending their increasingly anywhere organizations from exposures and threats, while integrating security, recovery and compliance best practices
into day-to-day operations.
F. Enabling Security
Tracks
The demands on leaders are constantly changing. The need to attract the best staff and retain your skilled workforce is vital in a hypercompetitive world. I&O operating models and structures must evolve as enterprises embrace disruptions like cloud adoption, DevOps and product-focused delivery in an effort to meet customers’ increased expectations and demands. The changing relationship between I&O, peer IT domains, IT leadership and customers is heavily influenced by the changing relationship between employees, employers and the future of work. This track focuses on the changing face of I&O, the people and culture issues, the rapidly developing skill and competency requirements, and the evolving role of the leader.
G. Skills, Organization and Leadership
Tracks
Optimizing costs while delivering value is a consistent challenge and fundamental part of managing I&O effectively. This becomes even more challenging during periods of increasing inflation and volatility. This track focuses on how to optimize operational costs at the edge, cloud, and on-premises while maximizing value for the anywhere business.
H. Optimizing Costs and Value
Tracks
Organizations are increasingly challenged to adapt their IT infrastructure and operations to the sustainability objectives of the enterprise, but lack specific guidance around where to begin.
Sustainability
Spotlight Tracks
Organizations with fewer than 100 IT staff and limited IT budgets face the same operational and security challenges as their larger cousins, albeit on a smaller scale. A smaller scale doesn’t translate to less complexity. The need to effectively deliver services and protection across the enterprise doesn’t change. Join your peers within this track to understand how to rightsize solutions and programs to
be effective within your organization.
