Gartner ITxpo 2006The Gartner Symposium ITxpo is the largest, and to some in the community, the most grand gathering for IT gurus and gambits; where grizzled analysts rub shoulders with technology vendors, buyers, IT gods, and humble business writers. Typically the event is a Holy Grail for the B2B publishing world, and any wised-up IT report worth their salt would turn their kids into a nourishing bowl of soup for the chance to attend, let alone being labeled as the Official Media Partner of the whole show.

Imagine the cheery surprise to find myself and fellow Business Trends Quarterly associates on a Jet Blue out of JFK on Sunday morning, soaring high above the grime and slime of Manhattan to touch down in sunny Orlando, Florida as the very Official Media partners for the event just mentioned. Yes, the cry has gone out: “Business Trends Quarterly and Gartner - partners! Friends! Bringing business strategy and technology solutions for the betterment of Coporate America! REJOICE!!”.

Such business partnerships wash a certain glow over the face of any magazine project director when realizing your report is riding a wave integrity and trust for the entire IT community in the United States to rely on for content, analyst insight, and deep penetration into the market; reaching the desk of the sort of decision makers and executives which not only embrace the thought leadership found between the covers of your magazine - but act on them. During my sit in the case study presentation by my good friends at Cisco, I made notes and reveled in the atmospheric, samurai-themed music blaring in Southern Room 11 at the comfortable Dolphin Resort in Disneyworld where a fine sense of calm came over me when the thought crossed my mind that above all else - the Gartner Symposium ITxpo truly is one of the premiere events to attend, and be an Official Media Partner for.

Enjoy the photos and video testimonials from the event, where you’ll see some of the largest companies and important executives confirming why Business Trends Quarterly leads the market in content, analyst insight, vendor perspectives and executive podcasts.
