Frontiers of Enterprise:
DX Meets The
AI Pivot

When a magazine like CIO talks, everyone listens. This was our mantra sixteen years ago, when we launched the CIO/CXO Media brands in Pakistan and it still resonates even today. As we enter our seventeenth year, we are proud to announce two exciting developments: the launch of the world’s first DXO Magazine, a media brand for tech-savvy enterprise digital leaders or Digital Transformation Officers, and the unveiling of our brand-new C-Suite Exchange website.

12th
DXO Year Ahead
Directions

Following the success of our four-year insights program with the CXO Masters Academy, launched in 2021 post Covid, we are now embarking on one of the most comprehensive market intelligence gathering programs ever undertaken in the country and is meant to construct a digital roadmap for Pakistani enterprises. This ambitious initiative will comprise a series of ten sessions, collectively known as the DXO Diorama, during which we will be live-building the first issue of the DXO Magazine. Additionally, the extensive research conducted over the past few years with the CXO Masters Academy will be showcased on our C-Suite Exchange website, providing a valuable resource for business leaders and professionals, alongside select archives from the previous decade and a half of CXO Media brands.

This focal enterprise insights renaissance has a multi-nodal approach leveraging two years of dedicated R&D/numerous sessions on CXO Masters Academy (CMA). This effort has been further translated into DXO Directions’25, an extensive program which will have a specialized vDome, Master Classrooms, roundtables, and our legacy campus conversations program, reinvented as Campus Conferences.

With three decades of serving the technology sector and seventeen years of working and interacting with nearly all technology multinational and local companies, we possess unparalleled expertise in the realm of market acumen for digital roadmaps, in Pakistan and remain the front runners even today.

Pakistan’s Most Comprehensive Market Intelligence DX Program!

Our new mediums are designed to support the business leaders’ efforts in the digital realm, to bridge gaps and align with regional and international best practices. Engaging more than a hundred leaders across this entire program, the entirety of this effort will culminate in a limited edition print/digital version of DXO Magazine which will encapsulate all the valuable data gathered throughout the live-construct of the State of the DXO.

The grand finale of this initiative will be the 12th DXO Enterprise Digital Leadership Summit, which includes four special editorial golds for each of our CXO Media properties that were launched together 16 years ago. These 4 laureates have been carefully selected by the CXO Media team and remain absolutely unattached in terms of any sponsor led funding.

The theme of this flagship series is “Frontiers of the Enterprise: DX Meets The AI Pivot”. DXO Directions hopes to tie together enterprise digital leaders and explore the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on organisations and the future of business.

Directions, an admixture of our previous IT Leadership, Year Ahead, and CXO Verve Congress events over the years, is produced by CXO Masters Academy, on behalf of the CXO Media brand, part of the SPIN umbrella of tech media brands. DXO is trademarked to SPIN-IDG.

Directions Patrons
