Praise for the Summit

The level of the event is phenomenal not only from the keynoters but also of the participants.
-- José Núñez, CIO, Altta Holmes
Contributed information and experiences that will certainly influence my management.
-- Rolando Hernández, former CIO, PEMEX
Each topic was fresh and the worldwide attendees put a different spin on them. I learn from every encounter with each member of the Consortium. They have so much knowledge and are so willing to share.
