For our second IN PERSON SIGNATURE EVENT of 2026, will be with our Special Guest, Dan Roberts, Host, Tech Whisperers Podcast.
For four decades, Dan Roberts has been at the forefront of the IT profession, mentoring, studying, and partnering with thousands of CIOs and technology leaders to drive meaningful change. His firm coined the phrase “Developing the Human Side of Technology” in 1984—a time when technology and technologists were often hidden behind glass walls. Today, Dan remains a passionate advocate for elevating the IT narrative, ensuring leaders and their teams embrace the mindsets, skill sets, and tools needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. A lifelong student of leadership, Dan is renowned for his ability to distill the traits that define the most game-changing leaders in the profession. These "difference makers" stand out not for chasing trends but for their clarity, focus, and execution. Dan encapsulates their qualities through his framework of the 7 Cs of Top Leaders: Customer Obsession, Culture, Cultivate, Courage, Change, Collaboration, and Communication. Recognized as one of the most connected figures in the CIO arena, Dan is passionate about connecting exceptional leaders with transformative ideas. CIOs and technology leaders value his energy, insight, and ability to challenge conventional thinking. Through his writing, speaking engagements, and leadership programs, Dan inspires IT executives to build world-class cultures and develop a future-ready workforce capable of driving innovation and delivering lasting impact. Dan believes there has never been a more exciting time to be in the IT profession, and his career stands as a testament to his dedication to advancing IT leadership, elevating the profession, and preparing the next generation of CIOs to succeed.
