Midmarket CIO

A recent survey reveals that CIOs and senior IT executives rarely meet with new technology providers or partners in their offices. Simply put, they're way too busy-with even less time to meet than CIOs in larger organizations. Yet a 2009 Forbes survey clearly shows that executives prefer face-to-face meetings to facilitate a give-and-take exchange of ideas when making complex business decisions. That's why more C-level decision makers choose to talk business, network with their peers, and evaluate technology options at an event, such as the Midmarket CIO Forum.
