“I really enjoyed the event and was definitely in the company of some talented, amazing individuals!  I will have to also say that I took away a ton of great ideas and input from the session, which isn't always the case when I attend certain events.”

Kristen E. Blum
SVP and CIO
Abercrombie & Fitch


“The panelist discussion provided a unique and rare opportunity to learn best practices from some of most successful IT leaders in Central Ohio. The discussion was both enlightening and reassuring to know that both myself and my organization are not the first to tread rough terrain with respect to project management and inter-departmental cooperation.   I walked away from this event with several best practices that I plan to apply to our business.”

Jerry Rose, Network Administrator,
Franklin County Board of MRDD


"The panel discussions at the Global CIO Value Forum helped me understand that in this perilous economic environment, rigorous and disciplined evaluation of business value will determine the success of IT; and increasingly, of the performance of the business as a whole.”
 
Chris Farrar, Ph.D.
VP Business Development
Docomo InterTouch


"Thanks to the Glomark-Governan Team for hosting an extremely well organized and thoughtful Forum. The panelists' ideas and experiences were useful and interesting. This forum is ideal for IT Professionals and Risk Managers who have P&L responsibilities. I took away helpful information on how to gather and utilize user feedback when evaluating new applications and how to establish effective performance metrics.  I am looking forward for the next Global CIO Value Forum."
