Small and Large Organizations

Attendance is limited to several hundred CXOs hand-selected by sponsors and hosts in each market.  Half of the attendees are from small business and the other half are enterprise customers.  Attendees at an average event have decision-making authority over about 100,000 employees and almost as many computers. No event in history has attracted as much technology buying power.

For Executive Teams Only

How do we insure a top executive audience?  No telemarketing, no direct mail, not even online registration – the only want to register is via an in-office visit.  It is a privilege to be invited to a Connect event!  Attendees pay several hundred dollars each to enroll, so they show up on event day and they take the event seriously.  Although only CEOs are briefed on the project, most bring one or two others from their executive team with them (typically CIOs and CFOs).

While as few as 25% of attendees have the title of CEO, over 80% of enrolled companies have their CEO in attendance.

Leadership from Every Sector

Connect attracts those at the pinnacles of corporate and government leadership in each city.  Nearly every industry is represented. Chambers of Commerce and Industry Associations help promote the event to their members.  These organizations are powerful centers of influence, extending the final reach of our events deep into regional business nerve centers.
