ITSMF - Information Technology Senior Management Forum

ITSMF - Information Technology Senior Management Forum ITSMF increases the representation of professionals at senior levels in technology, to impact organizational innovation and growth.

The Information Technology Senior Management Forum (ITSMF), formed in 1996, began with a conversation between a few prominent technology executives who discovered that only 3% of information technology management roles were held by Black professionals. Studies suggested that not enough Black professionals were positioned for senior-level technology positions. This discussion sparked those executives, most of whom were CIOs of major corporations, to action as they were compelled to reach, teach and nurture aspiring technology professionals. Under the leadership of Carl Williams, this 501c(3) organization began recruiting professionals who ranked among the Who’s Who in technology, along with companies and individuals that boldly dared to disrupt the status quo and seek more diversity, equity and inclusion among technology executives. For over 25 years, ITSMF has remained the premier national organization dedicated exclusively to cultivating executive talent among technology professionals. We are extremely proud of our history, encouraged by today’s progress and excited about the work still needed to fulfill tomorrow’s promise.

S2-26 Symposium brought technology leaders and professionals together for three days of learning, connection, and thoughtful conversations.

We want to give a special thank you to Accenture, JRH Consultants, and Mechanized AI, for supporting this year’s Symposium.

Your partnership helped create an environment where leaders could connect, exchange ideas, and continue conversations that extend beyond the Symposium.
