SMU Chief Innovation Officer Summit

About this event

Tech Titans is proud to be a Premier Association Partner of SMU Lyle School of Engineering’s inaugural Chief Innovation Officer Summit.

Innovation is changing at extraordinary speed. AI, emerging technologies and new business models aren't simply creating new tools they are changing how organizations compete, make strategic bets, build teams and turn ideas into measurable value.

The Chief Innovation Officer Summit will bring together senior technology and innovation executives, entrepreneurs and thought leaders for a day focused on one critical question:

How do we lead innovation effectively in an era of exponential change?

The program will explore:

• How AI, quantum computing, digital twins and other emerging technologies are reshaping innovation strategy

• How organizations move from experimentation to measurable business impact

• How leaders build cultures and operating environments where innovation can scale

• How companies make better innovation bets amid technological and economic uncertainty

• How partnerships and ecosystems can accelerate innovation

For Tech Titans members, this is also an opportunity to connect with innovation and technology leaders from across industries and strengthen the relationships that make North Texas such a powerful technology ecosystem.

We look forward to bringing our community together one last time this 2026!
