Testimonials
“The CIO Summit I attended at Marina del Rey was my second. I found it more productive and beneficial given the pre-planning of workshops, roundtables and individualized vendor meetings and reviews. More importantly though, the Summit provided a better environment in which to network with peers most of whom had similar challenges and experiences. The Summit provides a great opportunity to focus on lesser known products and services.”

During the summit, I was able established solid peer to peer relationships and enjoyed the variety of workshops I attended. The information present was practical and relevent to the challenges my organization is currently facing.
Furthermore, the networking events provided me a unquie opportunity to exchange ideas with many of the national most respected leaders in healthcare technology management. I learned a great deal that I can and will use immediately upon returning to work.
Finally, the vendors were extremely courteous and very professional during the one-on-one sessions. No pressure sales and they exhibited a sincere interest in understanding how their solutions could address the technology gaps in our organizations.
