World Business Chicago is excited to invite you to our first CIO Roundtable of 2025 with City of Chicago Chief Innovation Officer Nick Lucius!
World Business Chicago is the City of Chicago's economic development organization chaired by the Mayor. The City of Chicago Department of Technology and Innovation (DTI) is the city's central IT agency. DTI is responsible for the City’s core technology infrastructure, enterprise applications, data management & analytics, digital services, and information security. Their work is building an innovative Chicago where technology fuels inclusion, engagement, innovation, and opportunity for everyone.
The CIO Roundtable series by WBC is in partnership with the City CIO and part of our collective economic development mission to drive inclusive economic growth and job creation, support our hometown technology and innovation ecosystem, and promote Chicago as a global destination for industry, innovation, and talent. Together, we're excited to convene CIOs and leading technologists to learn more about the City CIO's portfolio, 2025 priorities, and areas for partnership and collaboration to drive impact for our city.
