Keynote Topics and Debate
The 10th annual Summit focuses on the IT trends that could revolutionize the way IT makes a difference. From an opening session exposing new business models that the impending broadband explosion will enable - and how those models will impact IT - to a session that opens up possibilities for collaborating with "partners" you might never have considered before, every session at Summit 2006 will give you the tools you need to give IT a leading role in your organization. Beyond being prepared to react to what future IT changes will bring, you'll be able join your business executives in setting future strategy based upon the opportunity these emerging trends will put forward.
The Summit has become the one conference that people return to year after year to take advantage of the brain trust that, each spring in Boston, congregates to debate the upcoming challenges business technologists worldwide will be facing in the coming years.
Each 90-minute keynote presentation is designed to make you question the status quo. And the 90-minute panel sessions that follow are a forum for debate and opinion around the ideas presented in the preceding keynote.
Like a special interest group meeting, the Summit's Roundtable sessions offer an opportunity to discuss nuts and bolts challenges. Starting with a common pain point, delegates and speakers alike challenge one another and brainstorm on best practices for overcoming obstacles to success.
And pre-conference workshops provide a chance to sit back and immerse yourself not only in concepts, but in hands-on advice so you can put the lessons to work simply and enjoy a nearly immediate return on your investment.
