- We make commitments with meaning and we live up to the hype. If we say the CIO of the most profitable company on the planet will be there to shake hands with you, we’ll deliver.
- We challenge ourselves and others to produce the best technology event experience possible for all of our clients, constantly striving for improvement and client satisfaction.
- We provide a clear understanding and define our mission and goals for each event with careful attention to what will create the optimal experience for each of our clients at each event.
Our technology summits are more than simply gathering business professionals together to network. We offer a variety of interactive events throughout, so that analysts, sponsors and IT leaders can maximize edification during a short period of time.
The following describes some of the sessions featured at the Strategic Business Summit division's technology events:
CIO Thought-leadership Workshops: Interactive workshops are conducted by top CIOs and tech executives providing a platform for more in-depth conversations between IT leaders and technology solution providers. Short presentations on new technologies lead into open discussions revealing the successes and failures of projects. Through interaction and brainstorming amongst peers, issues are thrust into the spotlight and most attendees can learn how others have dealt with similar obstacles.
One-on-One Executive Exchanges: The Strategic Business Summmits Division of CDM Media will pre-arrange a specified number of executive exchanges between IT executives and the participating technology solution providers for each technology event. We have a dedicated team of business technology analysts that consult with invited IT leaders to discover their most pressing IT demands. We use this information to pair up the most innovative technology solution providers with the most relevant CIO executives to ensure that business concerns are addressed and allow for future business relationships to be established. Each client will select the CIOs they would like to meet with and are guaranteed executive exchanges with the majority of their requests. Attendees will receive an individually tailored itinerary allowing him/her the opportunity to meet with those relevant to his/her business concerns in a detailed and relaxed fashion. These one-on-one executive exchanges allow attendees to fit into just a few days what can typically take over a year to iron out within normal business practices, thereby increasing ROI on future IT projects.
Networking: As with any business summit, there will be countless opportunities for peer-to-peer networking that allow time for discussing those common technology challenges facing the participants’ industry that are not specifically outlined in the agenda. Our technology events team strategically pairs individuals with potential business partners during key networking opportunities. Throughout the course of the summit, be it within workshops, golfing outings, luncheons and dinners, there are plenty of opportunities to have open discussions that increase the collective sum of knowledge gleaned on specific issues. Not only do the multiple networking sessions present critical information gathering opportunities, but the peer-to-peer networking allows contacts to turn into invaluable business partners.
The SBS Division of CDM Media hosts comprehensive events that maximize opportunities for attendees in order to increase their knowledge and network base via various interactive sessions and meetings.
