ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM

Information technology is a critical component for any region of the economy, whether you're in Silicon Valley, New York or Cleveland. IT makes business run and unites companies, vendors, and partners around the world.

Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and senior IT executives are at the center of this congruence of business and technology, ensuring systems are in place and functioning properly, while working to ensure the strategic value of IT to their organization.

As the preeminent association for technology companies in the region, the Northeast Ohio Software Association (NEOSA) recognizes the importance of IT to the region. NEOSA is the COSE Technology Network’s industry-led, member-driven organization. Our mission is to support the technology industry through valuable programming designed to expand knowledge, build connections and improve public policy.

Launched in 2000, NEOSA’s CIO Symposium is the longest-running gathering of CIOs in the region. As in past years, you will find that the 2012 CIO Symposium creates the perfect forum for CIOs and IT executives to share insights on critical business issues and make important connections with one another. Through thought-provoking keynote speakers, extensive breakout sessions, and interactive roundtable discussions, the 2012 CIO Symposium offers an invaluable experience that you simply cannot afford to miss.
