CIO Summit: The CIO's Role in Reimagining and Reinventing the Business Will Drive the Discussion at HMG Strategy's Upcoming Seattle CIO Conference

SEATTLE, Oct. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The mantra in business today is disrupt your business or risk being disrupted by others. The pivotal role that the CIO plays in helping to identify opportunities for leveraging technology to disrupt the business and create new business models will be the focus for the upcoming 2018 Seattle CIO Executive Leadership Summit, produced by HMG Strategy, to be held on October 30, 2018 at the W Seattle in Seattle, WA.

"CIOs are expected by the CEO and the board to share ideas for driving innovation and transforming the business," said Hunter Muller, HMG Strategy's President & CEO.
