\u201cThere are many technical conferences, but the CIO Summit is about bringing leadership together for specific, relevant topics beyond just how to keep things running. It\u2019s about getting together with colleagues in\r\nsimilar\r\npositions to talk planning, vision, execution and how to be a good leader. It\u2019s seeing people I\u2019ve known for years, and fostering the long-term connections that make the difference.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cIt is a unique conference in that it\u2019s all CIO\/CTO level folks that are there, and everyone there is your organizational peer. They have an understanding of your issues and challenges that a more broad audience might not;\r\nyou can start in the middle of a conversation with these folks. There\u2019s nothing else like Summit.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\u00a0<\/a>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n

It\u2019s great to be able to connect with your peers and get a sense of what\u2019s going on, what are you concerned about, what are you working on and what do you see coming down the pike? There\u2019s not enough opportunities\r\nto do\r\nthat,\r\nand OETC does a great job of getting that together with Summit.<\/p>\r\n

There\u2019s also the opportunity to connect with vendors who have been selected based on what my interests are \u2014 either what I\u2019ve identified as my department\u2019s next steps, or perhaps just something I haven\u2019t seen\r\nfirsthand but\r\nI\u2019ve heard others talking about.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
