Michael Keithley
Chief Information Officer
Creative Artists Agency

There are several external forces putting pressure on CIOs in today's world. These forces are happening at a faster rate than any time in the history of our industry and many are beyond the control of IT. How CIOs react to things like the Social Media, Consumerization of IT, Mobility and BYOD have far reaching impact on how the business perceives IT. CIOs must adapt quickly to these forces in an environment that is being radically changed by the Post-PC world, Cloud Computing and Advanced Persistent Threats from Anonymous, Organized Crime and even Nation-States.

Michael Keithley has served as the CIO at Creative Artists Agency 20 years. CAA is the world’s leading entertainment and sports agency, representing many of the most successful professionals working in film, television, music, theatre, video games, sports, and the Internet, and provides a range of strategic marketing and consulting services to corporate clients. CAA is also a leader in sports, representing more than 650 of the world’s top athletes, coaches, and broadcasters in football, baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, tennis, and golf, and works in the areas of broadcast rights, corporate marketing initiatives, and sports properties for sales/sponsorship opportunities.

Michael will give his insights into how he has dealt with these forces as a CIO at the intersection of technology and entertainment.
