Not a tech type but have tech questions that you need answered? Join us for The CIO Hour – designed specifically for non-tech association staff to boost their IT-IQ. Ask your technology questions and get them answered by an experienced CIO and a crew of industry experts in a safe, casual environment.
It’s October — which means it’s the perfect time to talk about things that go bump in the night. But forget the ghosts and goblins. The scariest things lurking out there right now have names like ransomware, phishing-as-a-service, and AI-powered attacks that move at machine speed.
Or just review all the great tips and information. Right now all of our Past Episodes, videos and presentation notes are free.
Anyone who uses technology to carry out their job
Not every association has an IT expert or CIO available to them; this program is a place where everyone can learn more about IT. Associations continue to rely more heavily on IT and automated / digital services. No matter what department you work in or the level of your IT skill set, this program is for you and is open to everyone.
First 15 – Hot Topics
The CIO, with the help of his friends, will discuss a hot topic each month. These are topics that every association person needs to know about to improve their IT-IQ.
Final 45 – A safe, free space to learn
The remainder of the program – YOUR time, in a safe, casual place to ask ANY of your IT questions for free, and benefit from expert advice! Provide your questions in advance using the registration form to help The CIO & industry experts provide all the information you expect during this power packed hour.
James Marquis, 501Works
Chief Innovation Officer and former CIO for a large health care association, and currently serving as a virtual CIO for several association clients. James will answer your questions and bring in guest experts to help you better understand key areas of IT, like WordPress, Domain Names, PCI, and SSL’s. See our upcoming schedule, register, bring your questions and up your IT-IQ every month!
The CIO Hour will be recorded each month in case you miss it. However, we hope you attend and engage with the industry experts and other participants regularly so you continue to boost your IT-IQ.
The need for more education for association staff and how they can use technology to meet their mission critical goals, continues to grow in importance. By supporting this program and our sponsors, you are helping to advance technology education for all association staff, regardless of their roles and responsibilities within an association.
