Breakfast Briefing: IT and Social Business: In the Enterprise and Beyond the Firewall
June 13, 2013 - 7:00-10:00 a.m., Chicago, IL
Businesses
are increasingly adopting social technologies both within the
enterprise and beyond the firewall. IDC believes that these
technologies offer significant business value if properly
implemented. Enterprise Social Networks provide new opportunities
for collaboration and process improvement. They have also created
new end user expectations. Social technologies are also
transforming the customer experience. However, while CIOs are
asked to meet the changing demands within the enterprise, CMOs are
often moving unilaterally to develop customer facing strategies and
solutions. Join us for this breakfast briefing where Michael Fauscette, Group Vice President, Software Business Solutions, IDC and David McNally, IT Executive Advisory, IDC Insights will be the presenters.

themselves by collaborating across functional areas. The 2013 Retail
Executive Summit will offer unique opportunities for retailers to learn
from the experts and leaders how to set similar strategies. IDC Retail
Insights is an analyst partner for this event and program director, Greg Girard, will present in the session titled "Showrooming and the Renaissance of the Store."

CIO Retail Summit
August 25-27, 2013 - Scottsdale, Arizona
For
the first time since the economic downturn, the retail industry is
seeing a consistent rise in profits. However, while consumers are back
in the stores, their mindsets have changed. They are more educated and
more demanding, but spending habits per day still haven't returned to reported 2008 levels prior to the
downturn. The CIO Retail Summit is designed to help retail organizations learn
how to cater to this new consumer. IDC Retail Insights research director Leslie Hand will attend.

CIO Summit Europe
November 5-7, 2013 - Berlin, Germany
The
CIO Europe Summit 2013 will once again serve as an arena for senior
level executives to engage in clear and focused dialogue with their
peers and examine their management objectives in a relaxed and vibrant
environment. Influential corporate leaders will discuss relevant issues
that will improve their businesses and help them streamline and take
advantage of the essential IT initiatives that the current business
culture requires. While cutting costs and leveraging spending are
always important elements in an economic downturn, it is up to CIOs to
ensure their companies are utilizing the best possible products and
services. In an increasingly “sink or swim” environment, the CIO Summit
brings together CIOs whose vision and eagerness to improve separate
them from the rest of the pack. IDC Executive Vice President &
Chief Research Officer, Crawford DelPrete, will participate.
