  Midmarket Focus: Europe
Enabling Strategic IT Decision-Making for the Midsize Enterprise


Midsize Enterprise Summit Europe launches mid-June to bring nearly 200 CIOs, IT Directors and IT Managers from the United Kingdom and Ireland together with global and regional IT vendors. Gartner Vision Events will host invitation-only delegates from companies with 100+ seats and IT spending patterns that exceed a minimum of £1 million annually.

“The volume and breadth of global offerings is giving CIOs at midsize organizations more choices than ever before, and confirming Gartner's belief of the critical importance of this market”, said Raymond Laracuenta, vice president and practice area director in Gartner Research.

The two-and-a-half day event is scheduled for 16-18 June at the CityWest Conference and Golf Resort in Dublin, Ireland. The agenda includes a program of General and Breakout Sessions led by Gartner – the world’s leading technology research and advisory firm – to provide a comprehensive roadmap for midsize businesses - from strategies and benchmarks, to best practices and technologies.
