Events In Your Role
Today’s CIO and IT leaders must support rapidly changing business
needs while carefully managing costs. The issues they face are complex
and critical to the success of the business as a whole. Among these are:
• Developing and supporting superior processes for improved business outcomes
• Reducing enterprise costs while driving innovation and revenue generation
• Advancing workforce effectiveness
• Ensuring IT investments deliver the greatest business impact
Despite the complexity of these issues, there is a tremendous opportunity for CIOs
to recast their role, and that of IT’s, from enabler to innovator. Gartner’s CIO-centric
events deliver research-intensive guidance to help IT leaders meet the new demands
of leadership and help define the future of technology in the enterprise.

Applications Events
Strategize, evolve, modernize and manage. These are the key
challenges facing application managers as they seek to rapidly deliver
results across the entire application portfolio while addressing the
disruptive forces of change. But making the right decisions can be
both risky and daunting.
Enterprise users as well as customers are radically changing how they consume
applications. More than ever, your organization’s application portfolio must accommodate
the pace of change and innovation. Are you making the right investments in the right
systems? How well are you managing applications so that you can effectively control costs
and still provide the agility needed to quickly take advantage of a business landscape
changing at ever-faster rates?
By 2013, 60% of
organizations will
use EDA and SOA
in combination
as the primary
architecture for
new enterprise
applications.

Business Intelligence Information Management Events
As the need to differentiate your business becomes even more critical,
so too is your organization’s ability to leverage and manage information
as an asset.
BI and information management leaders are just now addressing this emerging
imperative and, along with it, the reality that they must lead the way forward.
Our events for business intelligence and information management deliver new insights
into how information fuels innovation and drives business opportunity — and what you
must do to develop the right capabilities for an effective information-centric culture.
Business Process Improvement Events
Business process management (BPM) is not a passing fad but
a fundamental factor in managing, improving and transforming
an organization.
But to deliver the results and benefits expected from BPM and actually enable an
enterprise to change requires specific know-how and the savvy to tackle internal
obstacles holding back your progress — whether those challenges are political
infighting or lack of engagement. Designed to help process experts gain game-changing
momentum, our Business Process Management Summits deliver everything that’s
needed to advance individual skill sets and get the organization where it needs to
go — whether it’s first steps or critical next steps with BPM.

Enterprise Architecture Events
Enterprise architecture (EA) is a strategic planning process that
integrates business and IT strategy to improve both financial efficiency
and business effectiveness. Done right, it can be a powerful mechanism
for advancing the business strategy of enterprises.
Gartner’s EA-focused events not only provide the fundamentals for developing a
world-class model for an EA program in your organization but also deliver the tools
and techniques to make EA a transformative discipline.
IT Infrastructure Operations Events
Whether it’s developing next-gen skills or optimizing current workload costs,
IT infrastructure and operations leaders are facing tremendous challenges.
Outdated IT processes are making it difficult to exploit new technologies such as cloud
computing, virtualization and mobility. Meanwhile, the need to respond to growing cost
pressures requires an intensive focus on standardization, consolidation and optimizing
service delivery. Gartner’s IT summits on IO explore today’s game-changing trends and
technologies as well as must-take actions to advance data center modernization, increase
operational efficiencies, and deliver faster and more agile IT services at a lower cost.
By 2016, 60%
of new data
centers will be
40% smaller while
supporting a
300% increased
workload.

Program Portfolio Management Events
Even though program and portfolio management (PPM) is a growing
area of need for many organizations, the results it delivers often don’t
live up to expectations. That’s why the focus of PPM efforts is shifting
from a traditional approach that lacks flexibility to one that can adapt
to changing strategies and can create maximum business value for
minimum cost, quickly.
The fact that business decisions are made amid a large number of unknowns and
growing uncertainty, and at an accelerated pace, has created a new reality that PPM
leaders cannot afford to ignore. Gartner’s PPM IT Governance Summit explores
this next era of PPM, characterized by new roles, tools and approaches, to help you
anticipate portfolio fluctuations and adapt your programs with a view to reducing risk.
Security Risk Management Events
In an era when data breaches and IT security incidents are the
new norm, IT risk and information security have been increasingly
recognized as business issues rather than just technical ones.
Today an organization must weave IT security and risk management
into the executive levels of business planning.
But given the rise of new trends and technologies, from cloud and mobile devices
to social networking, security and risk leaders must balance efficiency and
effectiveness with true business value. Gartner’s security and risk management
events offer methods, models and best practices to help create security and
risk management programs that are proactive, transparent, risk-based
and process-oriented.
At year-end 2016,
more than 50%
of Global 1000
companies will
have stored
customer-sensitive
data in the

Sourcing Vendor Relationships Events
In today’s economic climate, reducing costs while making the right
sourcing choices is a tricky balance every organization must master to
achieve the desired benefits. What’s needed is the ability to create
vendor relationships that address near-term cost objectives, but also
allow for longer-term scalability, enhancements and innovation.
The road ahead is increasingly complex and fraught with rapid change. Ever-growing
provider options have radically transformed the way business and IT services are being
designed, sold and consumed. Gartner’s sourcing and vendor management events
deliver targeted guidance to key outsourcing and vendor management roles within your
organization. Our hot-topic content addresses a range of critical issues, from managing
a complex multisourced environment to ensuring your vendors deliver value in a
changing business environment.
Now more than ever, the supply chain is being impacted by forces difficult
to predict, from the state of the global economy to disruptive natural
events. Change is constant.
As the global supply chain is tasked to find growth in new markets, supply chain
executives will need to respond to challenges from new competitors while learning to
leverage new technologies. Designed to help master these realities, the Gartner Supply
Chain Executive Conferences provide field-tested research and analysis required for
success in today’s complex business environment, and deliver actionable advice — from
strategy and planning to distribution and logistics — for every executive on the supply
chain leadership team.

Business Intelligence Information Management Events
As the need to differentiate your business becomes even more critical,
so too is your organization’s ability to leverage and manage information
as an asset.
The result: information will always need to be available, where and when it’s needed,
in the right format and in a consistent and organized way across the business. IT leaders
in business intelligence and information management are just now addressing this
emerging imperative and along with it the reality that they must lead the way forward.
Our events for business intelligence and information management deliver new insights
into how information fuels innovation and drives business opportunity — and what you
must do to develop the right capabilities for an effective information-centric culture.
Business Process Management Events
Business process management (BPM) is not a passing fad but

an organization.
But to deliver the results and benefits expected from BPM and actually enable an
enterprise to change requires specific know-how and the savvy to tackle internal
obstacles holding back your progress — whether those challenges are political
infighting or lack of engagement. Designed to help process experts gain game-changing
momentum, our Business Process Management Summits deliver everything that’s
needed to advance individual skill sets and get the organization where it needs to
go — whether it’s first steps or critical next steps with BPM.

Enterprise Architecture Events
Enterprise architecture (EA) is a strategic planning process that
integrates business and IT strategy to improve both financial efficiency
and business effectiveness. Done right, it can be a powerful mechanism
for advancing the business strategy of enterprises.
But to realize that promise, enterprise architects need to be more than just smart
technologists. Gartner’s EA-focused events not only provide the fundamentals for
developing a world-class model for an EA program in your organization but also
deliver the tools and techniques to make EA a transformative discipline.
IT Infrastructure Operations Events
Whether it’s developing next-generation skills or optimizing costs of current
workloads to free up budget dollars for new efforts, IT infrastructure and
operations leaders are facing tremendous challenges. The need to develop
and manage a flexible infrastructure has emerged as a top priority.
Yet outdated IT processes are making it difficult to exploit new technologies such as cloud
computing, virtualization and mobility. Meanwhile the need to respond to growing cost
pressures requires an intensive focus on standardization, consolidation and optimizing
service delivery. Gartner’s IT summits on infrastructure and operations explore today’s
game-changing trends and technologies as well as must-take actions to advance data
center modernization, increase operational efficiencies and deliver faster and more agile
IT services at a lower cost.
By 2016, 60%
of new data
centers will be
40% smaller while
supporting a
300% increased
workload.

Program Portfolio Management Events
Even though program and portfolio management (PPM) is a growing
area of need for many organizations, the results it delivers often don’t
live up to expectations. That’s why the focus of PPM efforts is shifting
from a traditional approach that lacks flexibility to one that can adapt
to changing strategies and can create maximum business value for
minimum cost, quickly.
The fact that business decisions are made amid a large number of unknowns and
growing uncertainty, and at an accelerated pace, has created a new reality that PPM
leaders cannot afford to ignore. Gartner’s PPM IT Governance Summit explores
this next era of PPM, characterized by new roles, tools and approaches, to help you
anticipate portfolio fluctuations and adapt your programs with a view to reducing risk.
Security Risk Management Events
In an era when data breaches and IT security incidents are the
new norm, IT risk and information security have been increasingly
recognized as business issues rather than just technical ones.
Today an organization must weave IT security and risk management
into the executive levels of business planning.
But given the rise of new trends and technologies, from cloud and mobile devices
to social networking, security and risk leaders must balance efficiency and
effectiveness with true business value. Gartner’s security and risk management
events offer methods, models and best practices to help create security and
risk management programs that are proactive, transparent, risk-based
and process-oriented.
At year-end 2016,
more than 50%
of Global 1000
companies will
have stored
customer-sensitive
data in the
public cloud.

Sourcing Vendor Relationships Events
In today’s economic climate, reducing costs while making the right
sourcing choices is a tricky balance every organization must master to
achieve the desired benefits. What’s needed is the ability to create
vendor relationships that address near-term cost objectives, but also
allow for longer-term scalability, enhancements and innovation.
But the road ahead is increasingly complex and fraught with rapid change. Ever-growing
provider options have radically transformed the way business and IT services are being
designed, sold and consumed. Gartner’s sourcing and vendor management events
deliver targeted guidance to key outsourcing and vendor management roles within your
organization. Our hot-topic content addresses a range of critical issues, from managing
a complex multisourced environment to ensuring your vendors deliver value in a
changing business environment.
Now more than ever, the supply chain is being impacted by forces difficult
to predict, from the state of the global economy to disruptive natural
events. Change is constant.
As the global supply chain is tasked to find growth in new markets, supply chain
executives will need to respond to challenges from new competitors while learning to
leverage new technologies. Designed to help master these realities, the Gartner Supply
Chain Executive Conferences provide field-tested research and analysis required for
success in today’s complex business environment, and deliver actionable advice — from
strategy and planning to distribution and logistics — for every executive on the supply
chain leadership team.
