30 years ago, there were around 64 million computers purchased a year worldwide. It is estimated that there are now over 2 billion PCs being used worldwide. The quantum leap in technology in the last decade is still gathering pace and the IT leaders in the world’s biggest corporations are those entrusted with unlocking the next chapter in an organisation’s development. Whether it be the economics of IT, globalisation, or creating a smart workforce, the challenges are real and ever-changing. News is breaking more and more regularly of corporations being exposed to risk through technological malfunction, cyber security breaches and the buck stops with IT leadership. The danger of being left behind is real and innovation through technology is the only way to avoid that risk.
The Enterprise IT Strategy Forum brings CIOs, CTOs, IT Directors and other senior IT executives together with solution providers in a three-day IT leadership business networking event.

As an IT leader you have the opportunity to exchange ideas through one-to-one business meetings, speed networking and group discussions. There will also be a range of speaker sessions focusing on hot topics including Business Intelligence, IT Security and Cloud Computing. Through this, you are given the opportunity at the forum to meet with innovative solution providers offering solutions aimed at reducing costs and improving efficiency.

More DetailsThe Strategy Forum is unique and unlike any other event. Here is why:
At the Enterprise IT Strategy Forum you will experience an exceptionally time efficient engagement model which goes far beyond a traditional exhibition or conference where meetings are usually by chance. With our 'TouchPOINT 12' methodology peers and solution providers are fused together in a range of interactive activities which not only guarantee face time but also ensure you are placed as a key contributor to the group.
Our pre-scheduled business meetings enable solution providers and delegates to book meetings in advance of the event. Each delegate and provider receives a meeting scheduler at the event to ensure you maximise your time out of the office.
Think tank sessions enable intensive research, ideas on collaboration with peers and an opportunity to consult with providers and industry experts on your most burning issues. Develop business with others, organisational direction & strategy and embed, share and obtain expert views to move your organisation forwards.
Our signature P2P connect Speed Networking sessions give delegates the opportunity to meet with numerous solution providers and exchange brief introductions. This allows for the development of valuable business relationships that can be continued in the future.
