2006 CIO Symposium - Sponsored by NEOSA

To all CIO's in NEOhio:

If you were part of the 2005 CIO Symposium, we think you'll agree that it was a wonderful and productive gathering .

The Fifth Annual
CIO Symposium was the best yet - over 150 people participated in three main sessions, four key break-out sessions, and the many opportunities for formal and informal networking among the IT leaders in our 13 county region.

Also, the 2005 event marked the inaugural
"CIO of the Year" award. Four NEOhio CIO's in different categories were presented with awards in recognition of the Innovation and Excellence.

We look forward to seeing you on
November 16th, 2006 for the next "CIO Symposium."
