The silicon.com CIO Forum has added more top name CIOs to the list of attendees for the 26 September event.

The annual gathering of the UK's top IT users - joined by the wider tech community and the silicon.com team of journalists - has grown in strength every year. Among those topping the bill this time will be government CIO John Suffolk (Crimial Justice head of IT at the time of this profile), and Neil Cameron, CIO at Unilever. (More here.)

The day will consist of a mix of panels, featuring FTSE 100 CIOs, keynotes and clinics, as well as on-stage versions of the McCue Interview (with Suffolk) and CIO Jury, silicon.com's unique approach to gauging the opinions of top IT users.

The overall theme this year is the CIO Linguist: speaking the language of tech for the business.

VC, consultant, ex-BT CTO and prodigious silicon.com columnist Peter Cochrane will open the day, with an unusual take on that starting point, and he will help wrap up proceedings too.

Former CIO and popular business guru René Carayol will chair.
