South African CIOs: Have your say in Brainstorm’s 2026 survey
The preliminary results will be shared at the CIO Banquet on 22 October.
South African CIOs are invited to participate in the 2026 ITWeb Brainstorm CIO Survey, a research project conducted in collaboration with MTN Business. This is the 17th year of the survey, which tracks the evolution of organizational digital maturity and the role of CIOs in South African businesses. This year, the survey aims to explore how technology executives are navigating an increasingly complex environment, balancing innovation, skills shortages, budget constraints, and the growing impact of AI.
The first insights from the 2026 CIO Survey results will be unveiled at the ITWeb Brainstorm CIO Banquet on October 22nd at the Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff in Johannesburg. These findings will also be included in the annual CIO Survey research report, which will be published in December 2026. Participants who complete the survey will receive the report without cost.
In addition to the survey, nominations are now open for the 2026 CIO of the Year Awards, organized in partnership with First Distribution and Microsoft. The awards encompass two categories: Enterprise CIO of the Year and Public Sector CIO of the Year. The nomination deadline is September 28th. Following the selection of finalists through interviews, the winners will be announced during the banquet on October 22nd.
