Our charter is to enhance Gartner's integrity, objectivity and independence by actively managing Vendor relationships. We also provide consistent Vendor Relations policies across Gartner's lines of business on a global basis. Our objectives are to protect the Gartner brand; provide a stewardship role for Vendors; and to manage the distinction between the client relationship and the research relationship.

Vendor Briefings

As an IT Vendor, you may request a Vendor Briefing with a Gartner analyst. Vendor Briefings are sessions conducted by our analysts to assist them in researching vendor technologies, business plans and strategies. Briefings may be live or via audio conference. Your request will be considered, but briefings are scheduled based on analysts research agendas.

Gartner encourages vendors that are not Gartner clients to brief our analysts on their product and services. To request a briefing, send an e-mail to vendor.briefings@gartner.com or call +1 203 316 6144.

To identify topics covered by our analysts, view Analyst Coverage.

Want to know what types of questions are asked at a Vendor Briefing? Check out our Sample Vendor Briefing Agenda.
