What is the Gartner Project & Portfolio Management Summit?
Now in its sixth year, the Project & Portfolio Management Summit is the premier global Event for one of today's fastest growing disciplines and software markets: enterprise PPM. It showcases the latest applications for optimizing business processes around the prioritization and development of both new products and information systems in project-intensive environments.
What are the advantages of the Gartner model over traditional IT trade shows?
There are several key advantages. In the standard trade show model, the prospective audience is mass marketed to, and the quantity and quality of the audience that shows up is always an unknown variable. The Project & Portfolio Management Summit pre-selects, invites and brings in executive-level Decision- Makers. We know who is coming, and so do you. At standard trade shows, floor traffic is a hit-or-miss proposition; even if the right Decision- Makers are at the show, there is no guarantee that they'll stop by your booth. At a Gartner event, we give you the tools and the format to meet with specific decision-makers, present to a select and pre-qualified group in Private Boardroom Presentations, and interact in a series of networking events. The face time you spend with key customers and prospects is highly structured. Your ROI is maximized. Every aspect of the event is carefully planned to ensure your satisfaction and success, at a level of customization and personalized service no standard trade show can match.
Who will attend Project & Portfolio Management Summit 2008?
Attendees will include an invitation-only audience of CIOs, CFOs, COOs and other IT decision makers who oversee organizations engaged in work that is project based and resource-intensive. These are executives responsible for the delivery of strategic programs, projects and services - and are seeking applications that can help them place the right resources on the right projects at the right time
How can I gain access to this audience and what are the investment options?
Project & Portfolio Management Summit presents several opportunities for audience interaction. In addition to meeting IT Executives during the PPM Pavilion, Case Study Presentations, and through our premiere networking functions, our Private Boardroom Presentations provide the most compelling advantage for accessing this audience. Our boardroom scheduling and allocation process is geared towards the audiences' current projects and needs and we carefully match both vendors and audience based on these objectives. We offer a wide range of investment opportunities based on your event goals and objectives. Please contact our Account Executive Aramis Jordan for more information.
Who else will attend the Summit & how do I gain access to the audience
Due to overwhelming demand to attend the Gartner Project & Portfolio Management Summit, for 2008 there will be and additional 175 attendees who do not have to qualify to attend - and will be present on a paid ticket. Technology Providers will have access to this audience at all networking functions and in the high energy meeting space at the PPM Pavilion.
Will Technology and Service Providers have access to Gartner's expertise?
Absolutely. Technology and Service Providers will benefit from Gartner's expertise through General Sessions based on research that is presented by a select group of analysts throughout the event. Additionally, we offer Technology and Service Providers access to on-site private One-on-One meetings with Gartner analysts to discuss specific session presentations and market issues unique to their organizations.
Gartner defines PPM as software that streamlines outward functions and inward processes of projectintensive departments, industries and organizations. Integrating multiple business processes and point solutions into one application suite, PPM features integrated management of pipeline, scope, time, resource, skills, cost, procurement, communication, reporting and forecasting, and risk management functions.
