SanDiegoCIO is one of 30 chapters in the Inspire Leadership Network, a national membership organization comprised exclusively of CIOs from public and private businesses, government, education, healthcare, and nonprofit institutions. SanDiegoCIO exists to help CIOs thrive in today’s most challenging C-suite executive role. The chapter regularly convenes leading CIOs and fosters meaningful relationships by hosting non-commercial, member-led programs—helping CIOs gain leadership advantage. We create opportunities for technology leaders to engage in substantive, issues-based discussion related to their industries and profession. Members benefit by collaborating with others, building meaningful relationships, and promoting professional development through executive events that facilitate valuable interaction among senior-level experts. MEMBERSHIP QUALIFICATION Members must be a San Diego-based CIO or equivalent senior technology leader for an organization with at least $100 million annual revenue. Organizations over $1 billion qualify for a second membership and organizations over $5 billion may enroll a third member – provided the organization’s primary technology leader is a member in good standing. ABOUT THE ORBIE AWARDS The ORBIE Awards is the premier technology executive recognition program in the United States. Since inception in 1998, over 500 technology leaders have received the prestigious ORBIE Award. The ORBIE honors chief information officers who have demonstrated excellence in technology leadership.

SanDiegoCIO had a stellar time at Snapdragon Stadium! ?? Learning about SDSU’s Equitable AI Alliance was full of thought-provoking insights into the world of AI and analytics. ?? Huge thank you to James Frazee, Hala Madanat, and the rest of the team for showing us how their rising research institution is shaping the future of San Diego's innovation scene—especially with the exciting work happening at the SDSU Mission Valley Campus. ?? The stadium tour was absolutely incredible, and the technology behind it all is truly impressive—definitely a highlight of the day! In a time when so much feels challenging and overwhelming, this event gave me a lot of hope... the future is brighter than ever!
