Take the first steps towards the C-suite with advice from career experts and the people who have made the move

TechLive Careers: How to be a CIO will put top chief information officers before an audience of IT professionals, where they will share their experiences of how they arrived at the C-suite.

With insight from career development advisors, and in the presence of potential employers, TechLive Careers is aimed at ambitious people in technical roles looking for a path into management.

All of this takes place with a cross-sector audience of top employers looking for emerging talent to provide an environment in which they can grow together.

 

1. Who Should Attend?

TechLive Careers is a new series of events from Mediateam, home of TechFire and the Tech Excellence Awards, that asks successful people for their story and how they earned their place at highest levels of their organisation.

With insight from career development advisors and in the presence of potential employers, TechLive Careers is aimed at ambitious people in technical roles who are looking for a path into managerial realms and beyond.

2. Why should I attend?

TechLive Careers: How to be a CIO will put three top Irish CIOs before an audience where they will share their respective experiences of how they came to the C-suite.

Careers experts will develop on these experiences and provide insights for education and personal development aimed at expediting career progression, ensuring those opportunities that arise are not only recognised, but seized and capitalised upon.
