Amplify the Enterprise: Creating New Connections With IT

2012 is a year of unlimited opportunities for CIOs. With the right business strategies, the CIO will be empowered to create compelling customer experiences, directly impact operational efficiencies and significantly expand their own strategic leadership role, structure and purpose of IT, the right away.

Great CIOs understand and communicate the impact of technology on their enterprises; they build, motivate and develop their people and source solutions through an ecosystem of partners, vendors and service providers. The forum is where CIOs connect with other CIOs, and find and share answers to their challenges and to fresh questions about efficiency, growth, global support, innovation, new products and emerging technologies.

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.

    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.
