What are attendees saying about our events
"Excellent event. Great organization and logistics. Covered topics very diverse and interesting; liked the fact that not all were focused on 'selling' but rather demonstrating technology and discussing innovation. Thank you for the invitation.”
"I normally attend these conferences in person and look forward to the networking and amazing selection of topics that are presented.... the CIOarena Virtual event, nailed the new platform with topics and content that hit home and provided views, solutions, and thought provoking insights that you would normally experience in person at their face to face conferences. This team set the bar high on how a virtual event should be conducted! Great job to Stavros and team!!"
"The CIOarena Virtual conference exceeded all my expectations. They provided an opportunity for networking with peers and vendors, as well as a large number of excellent presentations by experts in their fields. The virtual vendor booths were easy to browse, and provided a wealth of information at your fingertips. The webinars were spot on, and delivered concise and relevant content in engaging presentations. Last but not least, the chat rooms were perfect for deep dives into areas of interest, as well as to let your hair down and connect with the community. All in all, this was an excellent use of my time, and I look forward to future sessions run by this team. Congratulations on an excellent job, Stavros!"
"I want thank CIOarena for a very good meeting. I finally got to meet people outside of medicine, listen to what other people do and make some connections with people from Microsoft and other companies. I also walked out with some new ideas to implement at work. This clearly makes for a great meeting."
"The CIOarena provided an excellent platform for networking with fellow IT executives along with informative sessions with talented thought provoking presenters. I walked away with new ideas, relationships and opportunities that will be very helpful with both current and future opportunities. A must attend event for all senior IT executives.”
"The keynote speaker was really good, he knew his stuff, and kept the audience engaged, as did all of the speakers. I did meet with quite a few local companies, and it was noticeable that many knew each other, a testament to the type of audience you've captured. Again, I thank you for this opportunity, and I look forward to next meeting!"
