Taking on the Utilities Industry's Next Big Challenges

The CIO Utilities Summit was designed to maximize takeaways and increase business knowledge in a relaxed, but productive business setting. Presentations and discussions will thoroughly explore the latest trends in the utilities industry as well as critical IT issues, including those in the areas of performance, service level management, and IT infrastructure and operations. Discussion topics are chosen by IT end-users. As industry experts, they have the knowledge that attendees need to know in order to succeed and make positive changes in their organizations.

The CIO Utilities Summit three-day agenda includes:

• Interactive thought-leadership sessions lead by industry analysts and IT end-users (not the typical product pitches by vendors)
• Thorough Q&A sessions with peers facing similar issues
• One-on-one executive exchanges with solution providers and structured presentations
• In-depth CIO executive visions panels led by IT analysts
• Engaging CIO case studies

The summit also includes many formal and informal opportunities to network with other industry leaders. Discuss IT issues and solutions over coffee, during cocktail receptions, cognac tastings and more. These open conversations allow attendees to further develop new and existing business relationships with peers and potential business partners.

Most importantly, the format of the CIO Utilities Summit ensures that everyone's time is well spent discussing issues that can potentially change the way you do business and save your organization money.
