Testimonials

I can only attend two or three events each year. I need to make sure the value I'm receiving is very high. I get that from THE CIO FORUM.


CIO
Burlington Coat Factory



THE CIO FORUM is an outstanding opportunity to meet with both a slew of vendors and at the same time, a slew of peers, and its high quality seminars, conference and keynotes add a whole new dimension to the work you're doing.


Director of Debt Capital Markets
Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc



Outstanding value and use of personnel time. As my second time attending, continues to be head and shoulders above any other IT exec level conference (include the most expensive ones).


SVP & CIO
Marsh & McLennan Companies



The timing of this forum was excellent as I am currently determining projects and budgets for next year. The discussions with the suppliers provided the opportunity to understand their product offerings, specifically regarding the projects we want to implement next year. The number of suppliers and information I received during the 48 hours of the forum would have take a concerted effort and many weeks to gather.


Director, Information Systems
McKesson Medical Imaging Group



Information gained from this events will have a profoundly positive impact on my firm within the next 6 - 12 months

SVP & CTO
The Capital Group of Companies



It was very beneficial as a high-level networking opportunity, and the one-on-one meetings were an excellent way for both sides to have an in depth discussion about current needs and how my company's solutions may fit those requirements.

Director - Sales
RIM
