The Club prides itself in quality events and services. Here is recent feedback from some of our participants at our events. Please e-mail us your feedback. Thank you!
"It's like Gartner for the rest of us!"
Fortune 500 IT Director and Gartner subscriber
- "The Club provides insight into how other organizations are addressing the same problems that my organization faces."
Scott Tompkins, Director of Information Security
Williams Lea
- "Enjoyed yesterday's event, the material and speakers really covered the subjects well. Great event ..."
Tom Fahner, End User Computing Manager
State of Illinois-BCCS
- "I subscribe to a number of prominent analyst groups and network at the national level, but I am delighted to be involved with the IT Leaders Circle as well for three reasons. 1. First, I want to build my base of other IT executives in the region to be able to compare notes and help each other with the common issues we face; 2. Second, the topics that Alex and his team have chosen are in synch with my own strategic plan; and 3. Third, the Club's track approach offers me an affordable alternative to keep my key team members up to date on the top issues relevant to their responsibilities."
Ed Busse, Director Global Information Technology
Hollister
- "This was my first [IT Leaders Circle Luncheon] event and I was very impressed with everyone and the facilities... I am very keen to meet my peers at other organizations and find out what they are doing and issues they are struggling with. I was able to connect with at least 5 peers in a meaningful way which is 5 more than I had before the event. I can't wait for the next one!"
Mark S. Las, Director of Information Technology
Colliers Bennett & Kahnweiler Inc.
- "As a K-12 Director of Technology, I have found that the IT Leaders Circle exposed me to Business IT Leaders from large companies. This allows me to learn about IT processes and procedures that I can adopt to education."
Darrell Walery, Director of Technology
Consolidated High School District 230
- "As both the Director of Information Technology for Illinois Institute of
Technology's Center for Professional Development and the Associate
Director of our degree programs in Information Technology and
Management, it's critical that I keep up with the latest trends in the
industry and expand connections for the university. The Technology
Executives Club and it's new IT Leaders Circle provides me with access
to other top Chicago-area IT executives in a forum that allows me to
interact with them to see how they are managing their IT investments and
making their strategic decisions regarding the issues that face us all."
Ray Trygstad,
Director of Information Technology
Illinois Institute of Technology
- "I joined the IT Leaders Circle to be able to network and share ideas with like-minded executives and keep pace within this fast changing industry. I want to keep learning, and continue to be creative in my job - by discussing topics that are relevant to my position with other executives, I'll be able to do that. Although I attend National conferences, I'm excited to join with other executives who also work in this region and understand the unique challenges and opportunities our area has to offer."
Lisa G. Brumbaugh, Vice President - Corporate Project Management
Standard Bank & Trust Co.
- "I am excited about the Technology Executives Club IT Leaders Circle because of the opportunity to understand what problems other technology leaders are facing and approaches they are using to solve them. It is all too easy these days to simply soak in your own juices within your organization and believe that you’re doing everything right. It’s important to understand other’s perspectives and the IT Leaders Circle will give me the ability to do that. I am also hoping to increase the awareness of the local technology community of new technologies as well as open source initiatives and applied analytics."
Mark Friedgan, CIO
CashNetUSA
- "I am very excited about joining the new Leadership Circle where I can meet with my peers and learn from them. I have always found the panel discussions very valuable and anticipate the roundtable discussions will be particularly helpful focused extension of that value. Others from CNA have attended sessions and found them to be very valuable. I find the Club to be an excellent forum to network and learn from other IT professionals who are experiencing similar or shared business experiences."
John Landenberger, Client Engagement Executive
CNA Insurance
- "I had to write you and the other masterminds behind yesterday's event to congratulate you. I have attended many such meetings here in Chicago and elsewhere and found them to be primarily a waste of time. Yesterday's event was a an exception to that rule. You all did an incredible job with content, structure, presenters - and it drew some outstanding people too.
Thank you so much for all the effort and thought that went into the event. I will certainly attend more ... Great job!!"
Sarah Nelson
Self Reliance Society, LLC
- "Our organization has been a member of the Technology Executive Club since 2006. We initially joined as a cost effective way to network and share timely industry information with other IT professionals. We have been really impressed by the presentations and knowledge/credentials of those presenting. Clearly the Club is dedicated to delivering value to its members by bringing top industry leaders."
Bonita Gillman, PMP, Director Information Services
Gateway Foundation
- "I regularly use the Technology Executive Club's database of whitepapers, webinars and articles to research new technologies, technical solutions for business issues and to generally research technology for personal professional development. The library that the club has developed has been a great consolidation of resource materials for helping me to see where IT can be leveraged to support the business side of the organization."
Tom Fahner, End User Computing Manager
State of Illinois-BCCS
- "One of my projects this year has been to review our IT model and adjust for our changing organization. I found the seminar very rewarding in that the discussion and presentations added credence to the steps I had taken. I also now have some excellent resources for networking when I have questions going forward. I was quite pleased to strike up a conversation with another participant who might be able to assist me with metrics! It was a value-added event for me!"
Carole A. Long, Vice-President of Information Systems
Flexible Steel Lacing Company
- I have found the technology seminars to be very helpful in providing me
with a high level overview of disparate practices and technologies. The
speakers are subject matter experts and deliver informative
presentations.
Technology Executive Club events are good places to meet technology
executives from companies of all sizes. The setting is conducive to
conversation and informal learning experiences.
