2 The Gartner Summit Spotlight Gartner Summits are in-depth, authoritative conferences focusing on the disciplines that senior IT strategists and line-of-business leaders care most about. The subjects are selected based on our experiences with the world s most successful IT users as well as rigorous research within our client base and beyond. They combine the areas CIOs are prioritizing today and those which Gartner believes they should be focusing on. Each is a rich subject area with implications that extend throughout the extended enterprise. And each deserves the full Gartner treatment. The Summit experience is unique in the world of IT. For two or three days, senior strategists with an active interest in the chosen theme gather together for an intensive, engaging program that leaves no stone unturned. The ingredients include: The latest Gartner research specialist Gartner analysts present their latest findings, map out the trends, offer advice and share best practice. Pioneering case studies top organizations from across Europe share their experiences as leaders in the chosen discipline. High-profile keynotes featuring top users and visionaries in the field, sharing their unvarnished views. Multi-disciplinary panels lively debates that throw different lights on the most controversial subjects. Gartner Analyst One-on-Ones the opportunity to spend 30 minutes privately discussing a topic of your choice with a Gartner analyst who specializes in that area. Analyst/User Roundtables small groups analyze a topic and share their experiences, moderated by a Gartner analyst. Networking receptions Summits are known for the quality of the networking, both structured and informal, providing the opportunity to interact with colleagues and selected technology providers. Pre-conference tutorials to help delegates get up to speed on the key topics in order to maximize their Summit experience. Technology providers the world s most important technology solution providers use Summits as a primary customer engagement platform through demonstrations, case studies and product road maps. These ingredients are an important part of the Summit experience. But it s the way they all come together, under the stewardship of our most senior analyst teams, that make Gartner Summits the energizing, challenging and memorable events that they are.

3 Top Five Reasons to Sponsor a Gartner Event 1Leverage the power of the Gartner name and client base. The world s leading IT conference provider, Gartner hosts more than 70 events each year, attended by over 50,000 IT and business executives, ninety percent of which are Gartner clients. Sponsors benefit from the trust and loyalty we ve built with our clients over a quarter century - a bond that draws the best and brightest to our events year after year. 2 Connect with the hard-to-reach executives in person. The executives that attend Gartner Events are busy and well-insulated from cold calls and direct mail. Even if you manage to reach them, it s often difficult to set up a meeting. At Summit Events, these same executives are onsite and on topic, ready to listen to what you have to say. 3 Reach a sophisticated audience that s ready to buy. Summit Event delegates have more than a passing interest in IT. They re Gartner clients who follow technology closely, stay current on the latest trends and issues, control large IT budgets and rely on Gartner sponsors to help them meet these significant IT needs. 4 The power of face to face. Can you articulate your message in a meaningful and compelling manner in five words or less? Most technology providers can t, and shouldn t have to. Today s technology solutions are complex and customized. It takes the sort of in-depth, deep-dive you find at Summit Events to build the relationships that translate into major sales and partnerships. These same conversations also yield valuable insights into the trends, challenges, and growth avenues in a particular technology segment. 5 Align yourself with the best in the business. Summit Events attract the key solution providers in a given segment, and as a sponsor, you identify yourself as a key player. Thanks to dedicated exhibit floor hours and turnkey booths, the setting is always professional and conducive to doing business, whether your company is an emerging innovator or an established force. Year after year, sponsors come back knowing they can count on a unique opportunity to network with an elite group of technology-minded professionals.

10 Use Proven Strategies to Achieve Your Key Objectives While companies use MPOs for a variety of purposes, everyone agrees that a strategic plan to build brand identity and increase brand awareness before, during, and after a conference helps secure more leads and do more with them. Whether your company is a market leader or a new player, MPOs can help support your marketing and sales efforts in a variety of ways. Sponsors use MPOs to: Drive booth traffic A strategically placed logo serves as a well-timed reminder for delegates to visit your booth. A variety of options such as branding on the delegate documentation holders and conference notebooks are available. Guarantee an event audience A great deal of effort goes into producing a winning Solution Provider Session or other activity. Ensure it s well-attended with opportunities that are designed to enhance visibility of your event activities. Registration Sponsorship Demonstrate the value proposition Some MPOs may have relevance to your product or service and can be leveraged to connect with new customers. Bring your product/ solution to life with a hands-on Tech Lab session that enables delegates to try and experience your product. Extend presence beyond the exhibit floor MPOs are a proactive way to reach out to delegates, instead of waiting for them to come to you. With VIP Networking Lunches or Dinners you can reach delegates when their attention is most available. Reinforce connections It is smart to stay top-of-mind throughout the summit. Even after your sales team has met with an executive, MPOs can serve as a reminder of your value proposition and help seal the deal.
