Hosted by Derek Cullen and Gerry Akkerman, this interactive session will feature a Family Feud–style game with two mixed teams made up of graduates from SFU Beedie’s Technology Leadership Program (TLP) and Rotman’s CIO.D^® Executive Leadership Program. Teams will collaborate (and compete!) on how CIOs handle real-world leadership and technology scenarios, offering attendees candid insights, shared experiences, and plenty of learning moments.

The session will conclude with an open Q&A about both the TLP and CIO.D programs, highlighting how they help shape the next generation of Canadian technology leaders.
