Time is running out to join Chief Information Officer Didier Contis for one of the remaining CIO Listening Sessions this fall.

Whether you prefer connecting virtually or meeting in person, there’s a session designed to fit your schedule. These aren’t lectures or presentations—they’re conversations. Experienced facilitators guide discussions where your voice matters, using interactive digital tools to capture every idea, question and concern.
This is an opportunity to influence the direction of IT at UW–Madison. The insights gathered will help shape Didier’s priorities for the coming year, and you’ll connect with colleagues from across campus who share your commitment to excellence in technology.
