"I greatly enjoyed the format and the
'give and take' throughout the presentations
- great value in the content and the
exchanges. Phil Weinzmer did a wonderful
job of maintaining the flow and balancing
the schedule against the value of the Q&A
sessions. The event was very well-run."
-Walt Carter, CIO-Primary Capital -
"What a rewarding event! A perfect combination of
theory and execution, blended with some of the most
innovative speakers in the industry! CAI … this event was
wonderfully implemented and exceptionally performed.
I only wish that I had more time to spend on the topics
presented and with the talented professionals in
attendance. Special kudos to Phil Weinzimer for
Emceeing and for selecting the impactful speakers.
10 out of 10, for both value to my organization
and for the value added to my professional career!"

"As an attendee and panel participant in the Naples
Strategic CIO conference, I was really pleased at how
beneficial the event was. There were a number of great
CIO speakers at the event that provided a lot of useful
insight into what it takes to be a true 'Strategic CIO'.
Phil Weinzimer did a fantastic job at setting the topics of
discussion and selecting a great group of speakers.
In addition, I made some great contacts that I can
leverage in the future. I really look forward to
participating in future events. Great job to Phil and CAI!"

"The Strategic CIO forum was an information
packed, networking gem. The caliber and
diversity of people attending the event made
it very thought provoking and interesting.
I'm already looking forward to the next one!"
-Bill Martin, CIO-AEG Worldwide -
"The content of the workshop was relevant to the
challenges faced by not only the participants, but the
technology industry as a whole. The caliber of speakers
was top notch, a room filled with a wealth of experience
and a willingness to share with their peers. This is an
event that should be held frequently and nationwide,
giving many CIOs the ability to participate. The CAI
Roundtable event was well planned and effectively
orchestrated by Phil Weinzimer. It was an honor
to participate."
Margaret Brisbande, IT Director-Dade County FL -
"Few forums offer the intimate, high-quality setting for CIOs
to share with peers and industry leaders in a relaxed
environment. The Strategic CIO Forum offered such an
opportunity, and the value I got from those interactions is
very tangible and actionable. Nothing like learning from
the experiences of others to shape your own technology
strategy. Speakers at the Strategic CIO Forum ranged
from iconic CIOs like Filippo Passerini to midsize-level CIOs
like Peter Forte, who shared valuable work and life lessons
openly and genuinely. This spectrum of experiences
significantly enriched the forum’s value."
