Focus. Connect. Lead.
Gartner Symposium/ITxpo is the world's most important gathering of CIOs and senior IT executives. In 2012 our flagship conference attracted more than 20,000 attendees, including 6,000 CIOs. The global series is held in eight locations around the world and now for the first time in the Middle East.
