Agenda
Any Device, Any Service, Any Source
Our comprehensive, attendee-driven agenda reflects the needs, wants and requirements of senior technologists who are seeking a deeper understanding of today's IT trends, business impacts and future implications — and features a variety of session formats that encourage attendee interaction and pragmatic problem-solving.
It's the only IT event that combines technical depth and strategic strength in every topic area, building personal IT leadership skills and elevating the contribution of technology to the business as a whole. We'll explore top-of-mind issues that include both external and internal Cloud implementations, strategy, security, resiliency and hybridization, and explain successful software development, risk management, social software, SharePoint 2010 deployment, and much more.
Comprehensive Tracks and Sessions
The majority of the agenda is made up of Gartner analyst sessions — research–driven presentations that focus on the issues that matter most in IT today. Leveraging the latest research collected from organizations worldwide, analyst sessions provide real–world information that will help you make better decisions and drive more successful initiatives.
Our agenda will feature comprehensive tracks to drill down on the topics that most interest you, with track sessions tagged to help you create a customized agenda based on your IT role, experience level and key focus.
Hot topics to be covered:
- Mobile Architecture and Applications
- IT as a Broker: Clouds and Services
- Information Everywhere
- Security and Identity for New Ways of Working
- The IT Professional Career
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.
-
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.
