Our summits are more than simply gathering business professionals together to network. We offer a variety of interactive events throughout, so that analysts, sponsors and delegates can maximize edification during a short period of time.
The following describes some of the interaction featured at SBS Division summits:
Workshops: Interactive workshops are conducted by leading industry analysts allowing for more in-depth conversations between delegates and solution providers. Short analyst presentations lead into open discussions revealing the successes and failures of projects tried. By the interaction and brainstorming amongst peers, particular issues are thrust into the spotlight and in many cases, participants can learn how others have dealt with similar obstacles by using case studies presented by industry leaders.
One-on-One Meetings: The SBS Division of CDM Media will pre-arrange a specified number of meetings between delegates and the participating solution providers for each event. We have a dedicated team of business analysts that consult with the invited delegates to discover their most pressing IT demands. We use this information to pair up the most innovative solution providers with the most relevant CIO executives based on their most pressing IT issues, to ensure that business concerns get addressed and allow for future business relationships to be established. Each participant will receive an individually tailored itinerary allowing them the opportunity to meet with only those relevant to your business concerns in a detailed and relaxed fashion. These one-on-one meetings allow executives to compress 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 challenges facing the participants’ industry that are not specifically outlined in the agenda. Throughout the course of the summit, be it within workshops, golfing outings, luncheons and dinners, there are plenty of opportunities for you 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 those chance contacts to turn into invaluable business partners by establishing contact with the solution providers that you otherwise would not have spoken with.
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.
