The Stack Summit is an exclusive event for CIOs, CTOs and other digital leaders working in heavily regulated industries like financial services. It builds on a successful series of private events run by enterprise technology publication The Stack, previously featuring speakers like NATO CIO Manfred Boudreaux-Dehmer, Booking.com CTO Rob Frances and others.

Our inaugural summit takes place in New York's financial district at a private venue on April 16, 2026 under Chatham House rule. Expect high-value networking, peer-level panel discussions and micro-workshops.

Unlike many technology conferences, there will be no booths, no salespeople, no bad techno at 7am, and only a light sponsor presence, restricted to executive level. (Thank you to our inaugural sponsor Datum.)

Our speakers include BNY CIO Leigh-Ann Russell, Liberty Mutual CIO Monica Caldas, SS&C CTO Anthony Caiafa and Vanguard technical lead Jamie Burton, with several others due to be announced in coming weeks and months.

The afternoon features three primary panel sessions led by and structured around the current priorities of the CIO, the CTO, and the CISO.

Expect exclusive sessions and conversations with world-class digital leaders, spanning change management, board relationships, the future of platforms, application modernisation, network security, data architectures and more.

Earlybird tickets are $950.

All applications are vetted by our team.
