When it comes to the future, we rely on experts.

As with weathermen, our ability to predict the forecast is limited by our experience. Today's sky doesn't tell us about tomorrow's weather.

So for the future of IT, where do we look?

We have to ask the experts, which is what our predictions panels are all about.

Meet 3 CIO forecasters, and listens as they make their expert predictions about the future of IT on the CIOonline Minneapolis Predictions Panel.

The global pandemic has forced global business leaders to rapidly pivot to remote work styles, and to ensure their infrastructure can withstand the massive surge in Internet activity. The National Cyber Security Centre has also issued warnings of increased threats targeting essential services and hospitals. CIOs are being challenged now more than ever to demonstrate efficiency and agility to begin planning for reopenings in the face of increasing uncertainty and adversity.

Join John Graham-Cumming, CTO of Cloudflare for an interactive virtual roundtable event as we discuss the impact increased Internet activity and cyber attacks is having in regions around the world and how you can manage the long-term implications of the current crisis on your infrastructure as you begin planning for reopening.

Discussion Topics:

• Best practices to ensure a more resilient architecture in the pandemic era.
