Business Gets Social: Converting Engagement into Competitive Advantage

The Gartner Portals, Content & Collaboration Summit is designed to help IT and business executives get the most out of their existing and new investments and initiatives in the areas of internal, cloud-based and mobile instances of portals, enterprise content management systems, enterprise information management systems, messaging and communications, collaboration and social software.

This area of technology and management discipline is uniquely geared toward helping enterprises as PCC disciplines can be applied both to drive growth and innovation as well as to create efficiencies and cut costs equally. There are very few areas of technology that can accomplish both of these goals equally.

    • Social Computing
    • Customers and Employee Portals

Special Sessions

In addition to our comprehensive tracks, our Agenda also features several special sessions providing opportunities to learn from and interact with Gartner analysts, industry experts and peers, and top solution providers:

  • Keynote Sessions

    Typically presented by non-Gartner industry leaders, these plenary sessions are designed to be entertaining and thought-provoking.

  • Workshops

    Presented by Gartner or guest experts, these intimate workshops provide an opportunity to drill down on specific "how to" topics in an extended, small group environment. Sessions designed for end users only. Registration required.

  • End-User Case Studies

    Gartner invites a number of end users to personally present leading-edge case studies and answer questions.

  • Solution Provider Sessions

    In these analyst-moderated panels, vendors and end users share experiences and "lessons learned" from real implementations.

  • Analyst One-on-Ones

    Sit privately for 30 minutes with a Gartner analyst specializing in the topic you'd like to discuss. Many attendees tell us that a one-on-one session is worth the price of admission, all by itself.

  • Analyst-User Roundtables

    Hear how your colleagues from various industries tackle problems similar to yours. These small group discussions provide an informal setting for you and your peers to share insight, challenges and concerns on today's hottest topics.

  • Town Hall Sessions

    At these lively open Q&A sessions, attendees pose tough questions to a broad panel of Gartner analysts representing selected research areas.

  • TO THE POINT SESSIONS

    A Gartner analyst provides top concepts, key trends or a quick overview of a particular topic, in a to the point format.
