Why is CIO Index increasing rates?
Cioindex has come a long way from it’s founding in 2006. Today, we are the world’s largest professional network for CIOs with over 60,000 members. A vibrant “of the CIO, for the CIO, by the CIO” community with unprecedented global reach and the power to enhance the profession and your career.
As you know, we have been adding premium services to the plain vanilla “professional networking” features (ala Linkedin) on our site – CIO Desk Reference, CIO Events, and Special Interest Groups (SIG) are some examples. The next phase of our journey will accelerate these services and we plan to add many more – peer-connect, research-connect, roundtables etc. to name a few. This requires a substantial change in our pricing model to be in line with the market. However, we do not want this to affect our existing subscribers.
Toward that end, we are delighted to announce the CIO Index Patron’s program. Our current subscribers are automatically eligible – you will continue your subscriptions at the low introductory price of $99.95 for 3 years, guaranteed.
What is the Patron’s Program?

Subscribers who purchase by September 30th, 2015 are eligible to participate in this program – they can renew their subscriptions at this low, introductory price for the next three billing cycles.
