Business technology executives must sit at the center of corporate decision-making, especially in today’s economic climate. That means building tighter relationships not only with the CEO, but also with top executives in finance, sales, marketing, international, legal, business development, and HR, as well as directly with customers. Your career and your company’s future are on the line.

At the 2009 InformationWeek 500 Conference, C-level executives from leading global companies will meet to discuss how they’re delivering on the most critical business priorities of the day. The conference will feature sessions on:

• Mapping IT strategy and investment to the CEO agenda
• Cultivating, sponsoring, and driving innovation
• Viewing your role from a global perspective
• Working with the board on e-discovery and other pressing governance issues
• Speaking the language of operations, sales, finance, HR, and other key departments
• Preparing the next-generation tech workforce
