What's in it for buyers
If you're choosing partners or planning a programme.
- Benchmark your IT strategy and budget against Gartner's data and peer CIOs in one week.
- Meet the shortlist: every large provider has senior people on the floor and books one-to-ones.
- Analyst one-on-ones to sanity-check a vendor selection before you commit.
What's in it for vendors
If you're selling services into this ecosystem.
- The buyers here own the budget; the conversations are about next year's spend, not pilots.
- Analyst briefings on site influence how Gartner describes your category for the next twelve months.
- Exhibiting is expensive, so most mid-size providers come as attendees and book meetings in advance.
