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…

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

I found meetings arranged are very good, talking to a lot of potential clients in one single venue is a great opportunity.
