Gartner CIO Leadership Forum 2027 (London)

Gartner CIO Leadership Forum 2027 is a two-day, invitation-style conference for chief information officers, held 15-16 March 2027 at InterContinental London - The O2 in London. Attendance is by application: Gartner admits enterprisewide CIOs and business-unit or regional CIOs running organisations with $250 million or more in revenue (private sector) or 1,000 or more employees (public sector). The 2027 programme is organised into three tracks: AI Governance, Risk, Trust & Ethics; Business Value of IT; and Cybersecurity and Risk Management. Sessions are led by Gartner analysts including Mary Mesaglio, Peter Skyttegaard, Nate Suda and Gabriela Vogel, with guest keynotes still to be named. Gartner runs a sister edition in Vienna on 2-3 March 2027, and the full London agenda was still being built when this listing was checked on 16 October 2026.

A CIO who has to set AI governance policy, defend an AI budget, or rebuild a security operating model in 2027 can test those decisions here against other CIOs carrying the same mandate. The application filter means the people at the table run enterprise IT, not sell into it. The AI governance track covers explainability, privacy and compliance; the business value track deals with putting a number on what AI spend returns. You leave with Gartner analyst guidance on all three and a short list of peers who have already made the call you are weighing.

• ✓Track: AI Governance, Risk, Trust & Ethics (explainability, privacy, compliance, trusted AI adoption)
• ✓Track: Business Value of IT (measuring the value of IT and AI initiatives)
• ✓Track: Cybersecurity and Risk Management (security as a business priority, resilience)
• ✓Women in Technology programme, open to all attendees
• ✓Midsize IT Organizations programme
• ✓Global Enterprise Experience Program
• ✓Guest keynote presentations alongside Gartner analyst sessions

• ★Entry is by application and limited to sitting CIOs above a revenue or headcount threshold, so the room is peers rather than vendors pitching to them
• ★Vendor and consultancy staff qualify only if they run their own organisation's internal IT, which keeps sales attendance low
• ★AI governance, risk, trust and ethics is the first of the three tracks rather than a side session
• ★The Business Value of IT track focuses on measuring the return on AI initiatives and building the case for them to a board
