CIO Summit Meetings and Networking


Business Meetings

A team of business analysts from CDM Media consults with attending CIOs and industry thought leaders prior to the CIO Summit to determine critical IT issues. One-on-one business meetings are then pre-arranged between C-level technology executives and invited solution providers. Original IT solutions are presented to education IT leaders hoping to gain a business edge in the current market.

The CIO Summit allows, through open discussions, solution providers and IT end-users to forge new business relationships and plan future projects. These meetings are highly productive, allowing attendees to accomplish over three days what would normally take over 18 months.

Workshop Panel Discussions

The CIO Summit also includes in-depth workshops, each of which is kicked off by short analyst-led presentations. These allow IT end-users to review trends in education technology. Presenters are chosen based upon their proficiency in pre-determined education IT topics. Presentations lead to open floor discussions, where industry thought leaders are encouraged to share best practices and innovative IT solutions. This gives attendees the chance to learn, interact and brainstorm with others who have dealt with similar obstacles.

VIP Networking

The CIO Summit is packed with in-depth content, as well as time for networking with education IT peers and colleagues. Cocktail receptions, luncheons, golf outings and other social events give executives the opportunity to discuss pertinent issues. These networking events can turn chance contacts into priceless business partners.
