CIO Government Summit Meetings and Networking

Business Meetings

Prior to the CIO Government Summit, C-suite attendees fill out an extensive survey concerning their areas of interest, investment and IT issues and concerns. One-on-one business meetings are then scheduled between attendees and solution providers, both of who have expressed interest in meeting. This process guarantees that IT business solutions are presented to government sector leaders trying to gain a business edge.

The CIO Government Summit agenda is designed to promote and create open dialogue between solution providers, IT end-users and analyst thought leaders. Attendees are encouraged to share their successes and failures, discuss new solutions and examine trends. These interactions increase information sharing on critical IT issues and allow attendees to forge new business relationships with preferred suppliers.

Each CIO Government Summit participant will receive a personally tailored itinerary giving him/her the opportunity to network with peers that have similar IT business concerns. Meet one-on-one will relevant solution providers and accomplish over three days what, within normal business practices, would take over 18 months.

Government Educational IT Thought Leader Networking

The format of the CIO Government Summit creates numerous formal and informal networking opportunities. Whether attending a workshop, golf outing or cocktail reception, open discussions are encouraged throughout the event. Networking events present attendees with critical information on IT issues from the perspective of their peers so they can make smart business decisions.

Workshops

Lead by technology analysts, the interactive workshops at the CIO Government Summit provide attendees with an incredible amount of knowledge, including overviews of recent case studies and research. Each workshop begins with a short analyst-led presentation, which leads to an open discussion. Attendees are encouraged to share their ideas, experiences, successes and failures. This allows the group to learn from other IT leaders in the government sector who have faced similar obstacles, in addition to having an experienced researcher as a reference point.
