SUMMIT VENUE 2008

The Ritz-Carlton Sharq, Village & Spa

This is one of Doha's newest hotels – only completed this year – and probably also the most luxurious.

Fourteen individual courtyard beits meander organically up from the 350 meters of private coastline around the ancient Arabic bazaar to form Sharq Village & Spa. The 174-room village, situated in an area known as Sharq, meaning orient, perfectly blends traditional architecture and design with the latest in modern comforts and amenities. Guests can glide through the twisting village streets, walk along the private beach, cool off in the two superb pools, recline on an outdoor majlis, or pick up everything from high fashion to precious jewels at the village souq.

Testimonials


“What surprised me was the value that I got from the one on one meetings with vendors. I came to network with my peers but a few new relationships were surprising. I can be pretty tough to reach at the office and that can sometimes work against me…”
Gerard Muldoon, Managing Director, Credit Suisse First Boston

“I didn’t always agree with my peers but we had an interesting time looking at some of the pressures of compliance.”
Edward Jones, CIO Americas, Deutsche Bank

“What stands out from this event was the quality of the speakers chosen to moderate the round tables. I like working with genuine facilitators who can open people up and keep the discussion moving.”
Paul Bergamo, VP & CIO Liberty Mutual

“I have done business two years in a row at the GDS Summit…it works well”
Mark Udin, CTO & COO, Commercial Bancshares Inc.

“It is one of the best formats that we are working with right now. We have sponsored two GDS summits and are looking forward to our third. The team have looked after us well and introduced us to customers we would not have otherwise met.”
Andrew Wilson, Partner, Accenture

“The Summit was well organized and provided an excellent return on investment. We had high level meetings with senior IT executives in our targeted vertical who grasped our solution concepts and were able to see how they would apply through their organizations. The forum provided a relaxed, intimate environment for in-depth, meaningful discussions. We expect to close new business initiated at this event!”
David Stuart, Vice President Marketing, Optinuity.

“Our interaction with CIO's and IT executives at the FST summit confirmed our belief that the benefits of eSignature technology is recognized at the highest executive levels and that CIC is known as the leader in the industry. In my view, the summit was the most efficient and effective way to reach the largest number of potential customers in the shortest period of time. I expect that our participation in the summit will accelerate CIC's market penetration; thank you for the opportunity.”
