Symposium Session Types:

• New Session Types:

•  

• Symposium Community Kick-Offs
  Specifically designed for Symposium Community members, these Sunday-afternoon sessions set the stage for the week … specifically for the role you play in your organization. Hear how trends and new technologies and services will affect you, and how the week’s advice-packed sessions will help you rise to the challenge.
• The Great Debates
  The future is uncertain. Uncertainty leads to debate. And so the Great Debates will be a lively, controversial look at how the future will unfold. These sessions are Gartner research in action, and not to be missed.
• Cool Vendor Shorts
  Cool Vendors are hand-selected by Gartner analysts as those up-and-coming providers who’ve demonstrated an interesting, compelling, relevant and … well, cool … new technology or service. Cool Vendor Shorts are sessions that highlight a dozen or so of the Cool Vendors with six-minute snapshots each of what they bring to the table.
• Gartner Compares
  There’s no stronger scrutiny we can deliver of a technology and service provider than a direct comparison to its fiercest competitor in the market. HP vs. Dell. Microsoft vs. Google. Open source vs. proprietary providers. Oracle vs. SAP vs. IBM. Cisco vs. … well, everyone else. The outcome of these battles will affect us all.
• Interactive Polling Sessions
