Gartner CIO & IT Executive Conference

Push boundaries. Unlock potential. Join us to explore the technology, insights and trends shaping the future of IT and business.

Stonebranch was pleased to participate in the Gartner CIO & IT Executive Conference 2025, taking place October 6–8, 2025, at the Grand Hyatt Dubai. This premier gathering brought together top CIOs and IT executives to explore transformative technologies and resilient strategies in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Aligned with the conference’s 2025 theme “Drive Change. Build a Tech-Driven Future”, our presence underscored how strategic automation can empower enterprise-wide modernization. Stonebranch invited attendees to explore how Universal Automation Center (UAC) consolidates processes — spanning cloud, DevOps, data pipelines, and infrastructure — into a unified control plane.

Visitors to the Stonebranch booth witnessed firsthand how automation becomes an executive-level enabler for innovation, resilience, and growth. As global peers convened to hear from Gartner analysts, exchange leadership practices, and validate strategies, Stonebranch experts demonstrated how UAC complements these insights and explored automation’s vital role in driving tech-led initiatives forward.
