TESTIMONIALS

If you are an IT decision maker, you owe it to yourself to attend the COMMON IT Executive Conference. There is simply no better source of knowledge and information than the sharing of experiences with your peers. The IT Executive Conference puts me face-to-face with 30 other Executives who deal with the same challenges and opportunities as I do in my day-to-day world. It really doesn't get any better than this!

First and foremost, to see my good friend Henry and to share some fine cigars.

I am the owner of a small business that relies on IBM Power Systems and the IBM i Operating System. The conference gives me access to knowledgeable people that I otherwise may not have met. They represent a diverse group of industries, backgrounds and company size.

Over the years I have developed relationships with people from much larger companies than ours, and have gained knowledge through their guidance on various issues. Nearly 75% of the ITEC attendees are returning attendees, which has helped strengthen the relationships between the group; the networking has been invaluable. Since this is a small
group, the interaction among the attendees is always lively and informative.

ITEC attendees get access to IBM executives that you otherwise might not have. These executives set aside time to present the newest concepts and releases coming from IBM , and meet with the decision makers using their platform. There is always time to speak with the IBM executives one-on-one, which is key in helping shape the future of the platform.

The attendees are the conference - we drive the discussion during the conference and provide input into the topics for the following year. Last year, several of us broached the subject of doing business with IBM, our business partners and ISV’s. This year we are having a session consisting of a panel representing members of each of these groups.

The time I spent attending the COMMON IT Executive Conference was very worthwhile. As an IT Executive for a small organization, this is the only opportunity to receive the latest Industry updates directly from IBM executives and other industry experts. The ability to network with my peers and share experiences and best practices was invaluable.
