Frankly, you are a fool if you don't attend the CIO Summit, there is no other place to get the leaders of our industry in a forum where they feel comfortable to share their challenges and their successes. The voices in the room offer experience, insight and knowledge; you cannot help coming out of this event energized about all of the things you can accomplish.

Highly valuable to get together with my peers in this environment, can talk and commiserate without the pressures of a trade show or stacked agenda.
