Navigating the Future of IT Leadership

Your Voice. Your Topics. Your Night.

Tired of sitting through keynotes that miss the mark?
This time, it’s different.

Join us for an energizing, interactive dinner experience where YOU drive the conversation.
No panels. No lectures. Just peer-led discussions around the issues that matter most right now to IT leaders like you.

This is SIM Portland’s take on Open Space: a dynamic format where you choose the topics, move at your own pace, and engage in authentic conversations that spark ideas, solve problems, and build community.

What to Expect:

Move from table to table as each topic draws you in. Every conversation is moderated—but the real value comes from the insights shared by you and your peers.

 Topics on the Table Include:

• Digital Transformation – Real disruptor or just more buzz?
• AI & Automation – What’s hype vs. what’s actually happening
• Tech Leadership in a Hybrid World – What’s working and what’s not
• Cybersecurity – Are we keeping up or barely staying afloat?
• Innovation Without IT’s Permission – Yes, it’s happening. Let’s talk.
• Data Chaos, Tech Debt & Metrics that Matter – Solving the unsolvable?

…and more. Bring your voice, your curiosity, and your courage to explore the unknown.
