I will tell you it is hands down the best conference that I’ve ever been to as a CIO leader.

Andrea Markstrom

CIO

It's all about building relationships at Converge... and then continuing to nurture them after you leave.

Brett Lansing

CIO

The relationships developed, insights into growing our amazing leadership teams, approaches to fostering a people-first culture, leading by influence, and so much more were priceless.

Bryce Carter

CIO

Expect the unexpected. Expect to be delighted. Be ready to pause, think deeply about something you just heard, and to take action.

Curt Carver

VP & CIO

This CIO conference is unlike any I've ever attended. I've learned so much, made new friends, and built lasting bonds. The sense of belonging and care is second to none.

Darlene Williams

SVP & CIO

An amazing and exceptional platform in a super private setting to connect, learn, teach and build relationships with likeminded senior business and technology leaders.

Ganesh Iyer

CEO

Converge provided me very valuable exposure to the needs that CEOs and board members have of their CISO. By hearing first hand their perspective, I’m much better positioned to be an even better enterprise leader in my organization.

Ian Schneller

CISO and DSVP

The best and most collaborative event for technology business leaders that you'll attend this year.

Jamey Taylor

CTO & CISO

Probably one of the best CIO oriented conferences I've attended. Good combination of networking, learning, and motivational.

Jim Cavellier

EVP & CIO

Engaging, inspiring, thought-provoking…awesome!

Judith Apshago

VP of Information Technology

Very impressed with the conference - certainly exceeded my expectations. Well done! The speakers and topics were excellent but everything still had a light, fun, and engaging mood.

Justin McFarland

EVP of Information Technology

At Converge, I had the opportunity to learn from others who face the same challenges and issues I encounter daily.

Ken Somogyi

VP Information Technology

Outstanding gathering of best of the best global business and technology leaders. A forum to connect, share best practices, and celebrate with the best CIO's in the world.
