i.c.stars Leadership Council (ILC)

Thanks to Accenture’s guidance, i.c.stars formed a committee of CIO’s in our network to makeup i.c.stars Leadership Council (ILC). i.c.stars strives to present innovative technology content at all three of our events: Capitalize on Illinois, iOpener and Tech Bash. This committee meets quarterly to assist i.c.stars’ staff & board in planning relevant content and themes for our events. The ILC brainstorms ideas for continued CIO engagement with the i.c.stars network throughout the year and provides insight on speakers and content for each event.
