Summit 2008: 5-7 May 2008

Mark your calendars!

Summit 2009 will be held 4-6 May 2009, at the Royal Sonesta Hotel, Cambridge, MA | REGISTER

Each year, the Cutter Summit provides business-IT professionals with a commodity that is all too scarce -- an opportunity to brainstorm key issues, challenges and concepts that require more of your attention than the ten uninterrupted minutes you may squeeze in on any given day -- and to do so with the top thinkers in the field. This year is no exception.

The first two days of the Summit feature three keynote/panel debates, one Harvard Business School Case Study, and luncheon sessions. The third day includes breakfast roundtables and your choice of longer, hands-on working sessions. Keynoters and panelists, including Cutter Consortium Senior Consultants and industry practitioners, provided multiple perspectives on the topics at hand, and offer answers to your questions -- advice you can implement today.

Summit 2009 will reveal new ways to think about how IT can be a differentiator for your organization and help it soar through this economically challenging time.

The power of the Summit is its collaborative nature. So please join the debate and enjoy!
