What is a TDWI Solution Summit?
Each TDWI Solution Summit focuses on one or more topical areas within business intelligence or in an adjacent market. For example, TDWI has Solution Summits on master data management and “Deep Analytics for Big Data.” A TDWI Solution Summit is geared to decision makers from organizations that plan to implement a solution in the topical domain within 12 months. By bringing together buyers and sellers, the Summit accelerates the purchasing cycle, enabling user organizations to accelerate time it takes to research, analyze, and establish a relationship with key solutions providers.
Who produces the event?
TDWI Solution Summits are presented by TDWI, a respected provider of in-depth, high-quality education, training, and research in the business intelligence, data warehousing, and information management community.
Why is this event different from other analytics events?
A TDWI Solution Summit is an invitation-only summit. It provides an intimate, upscale environment where senior business and technology executives can learn all they need to know about analytical databases and solutions in two days of concentrated learning and networking. Other differentiators are:
- All attendees must qualify to attend
- Qualified attendees receive complimentary hotel and registration
- Attendees get to learn best practices from early adopters in an intimate setting that allows plenty of time for dialogue and follow-up
- TDWI researchers and experts present research findings that explain market trends and issues in the topic domain
- A unique online scheduling system enables attendees to build their own schedule of one-on-one meetings with attendees, vendors, and presenters
What are the main benefits of being a vendor sponsor?
- Guaranteed, pre-arranged private roundtable sessions with senior decision makers at user organizations who have an analytical project scheduled within the next 12 months and are in the process of reviewing technology products and services
- One-on-one meetings with attendees to solidify relationships and accelerate the purchasing cycle. Vendors may schedule meetings before the event through our online scheduling system, or schedule meetings on site
- Access to a higher level of executive, those who are difficult to reach through other events and marketing platforms. The invitational model ensures that all attendees meet a strict set of criteria based on company size, job title, role in the decision-making process, and readiness to evaluate and purchase analytical technology
- Access to the audience in multiple environments. The hosted format requires that each attendee participate in sponsor roundtables and one-on-one meetings
- Product demonstration exhibition area
Who will attend?
Attendees either make or recommend purchasing decisions for analytical solutions and plan to purchase an analytical solution within the next 12 months. By role, attendees will be:
- Business executives and line of business managers who want to create a data-driven culture and compete on analytics by driving more value from their investments in data management and people (i.e., business analysts)
- CIOs and directors of IT charged with managing an organization’s data resources and analytical applications who want to help the business apply analytics to address its most pressing issues
- Directors of information management and business intelligence who want to move their organizations beyond reporting and learn best practices for deploying specialized analytical databases and software
- Chief architects who must rationalize the use of specialized analytical databases and software within an established data warehousing architecture and recommend solutions
What will take place during the event?
Main sessions feature expert presentations, case studies, and panels. In addition, there are small group discussions (i.e., roundtables), one-on-one meetings, and an exhibit hall of solutions providers.
Will I have the opportunity to schedule one-on-one meetings with attending executives?
Yes, you will have access to a unique online tool that enables you to schedule one-on-one meetings with the executives of your choice. You may also schedule these meetings onsite during the event.
Which vendors should participate?
You should become a sponsor if you are a product vendor or service supplier of analytical solutions.
