The CHIME17 Fall CIO Forum will be Oct. 31-Nov. 3 in San Antonio, Texas. Registration begins at 8 a.m. Monday, Oct. 30. The registration desk is located on level two in the conference center area of the JW Marriott.
Pack your cowboy boots, running shoes, Halloween gear and any professional clothes you would like to donate. The CHIME17 dress code is “cowboy casual” and the welcome reception and dinner on Oct. 31 will include a Halloween costume contest. The Fun Run for Charity kicks off at 6:15 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 1, with all the registration fees benefiting Direct Relief. Dress for Success (for women) or Career Gear (for men) will accept donations of professional dress clothes that are brought to the forum.
Attendees can use the CHIME17 Event App available from Google Play or the App Store to receive updates and view the agenda, speakers, sessions and more program activities. Free WiFi also will be available in the meeting rooms.
Members who can’t attend will be able to hear and view the keynote addresses on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, which for the first time will be live streamed. The new Leadership from the Edge sessions will also be live streamed. These sessions (but not the keynotes) will be archived as well. Check your email from Wednesday, Oct. 24, for instructions.
There is still time to register, and onsite registration will be available, too. Go here for more about the CHIME17 program and registration.
