The VitAL Focus Groups is a complimentary event specially designed and targeted at senior IT managers who wish to discuss and debate some of their most pressing challenges in a well thought out yet informal setting.
VitAL Magazine, the VitAL Focus Groups sister product, spends a lot of time spends a lot of time speaking and listening to its customers and then seeking out innovative ways to meet their needs. It has become apparent that senior decision makers wish to discuss their current challenges in a meaningful and structured manner with a view to finding pragmatic and workable solutions to what are invariably complex issues. Suppliers, who are naturally keen to meet these professionals want to gain a clearer understanding of these challenges and identify how, through meaningful dialogue, they can assist.
This logic coupled with VitAL Magazine’s consistent desire to drive the market forward lead us to launch the VitAL Focus Groups for 2011!
Due to the demands put on modern managers and the subsequent limited opportunities available to join together and voice opinions – the challenges consistently faced by today’s IT leaders tend not to get resolved as quickly as enterprise would like. As a market-leading publisher and events buiness the organiser understands there should be a format that empowers meaningful debates to assist managers & directors overcome their issues. The VitAL Focus Groups therefore provides fifteen specially designed syndicate rooms, each containing a specialist subject for IT management to discuss and debate the matter in hand with a view to finding pragmatic and workable solutions.
With some of the industry’s leading minds on hand to help facilitate and steer each session the VitAL Focus Groups will quickly become a ‘must-attend’ event for anyone serious about IT in the modern environment. Add to this there are plenty of networking opportunities available in addition to a small exhibition, and each delegate is provided a fabulous opportunity to interact with their peers, source the latest products and services, and develop meaningful relationships in an informal yet professional setting.
The subjects to be debated include:
- People Or Technology – Who Wins?
- IT Managed Services
- IT Service Pitfalls – How Do We Overcome Them?
- Does The Service Desk Need Improving?
- Maintaining A Secure Network In The 21st Century?
