About us
The CIO Workshop was created and piloted by Accenture in the USA in 1986. In 1988, Accenture in Singapore brought the CIO Workshop to Singapore for the first time and jointly organised it in partnership with the Information Technology Management Association (ITMA). The ITMA was previously known as the Data Processing Management Association of Singapore. After almost four decades, Accenture has not only established deep expertise and experience working with CIOs, but has also developed a long-standing relationship with the ITMA in Singapore. The CIO Workshop has since become the longest-running annual forum where CIOs share best practices and discuss prevailing IT management issues. It is the only IT forum with more than a 30-year heritage.
In 2000, the bar was raised when the CIO Workshop adopted a dual-location format. Since then, delegates have had the opportunity to travel, learn from, and network with their peers from another Asian city during the second leg of the workshop. Past destinations have included Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, Hong Kong, Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. Today, the CIO Workshop has become the de facto forum for CIOs of large private and public organisations in Singapore. Delegates return annually to the event to benefit from the rich content and valuable peer networking opportunities.
