Testimonials

Why Solution Providers are looking forward to attending the VAR500-CIO50 Conference & Awards...

What I get out of it is you have a targeted audience as well as vendors.  I like the briefing sessions with vendors because they are very focused and at the same time they want to know how to better their business.

The most important thing is ‘networking’. It is a great opportunity to make some of the most important connections for one’s business.
Reza Zarafshar, CEO, Acconline

Like previous  VAR 500 events,  I tend to get a real pulse of the industry as we get together for the event in the middle of the year by learning from my VAR 500 peers and industry leaders about their success.

  1. Transformation that they made in their business model based on the 2009 experience and 2010 outlook – So the roundtable discussion among the solution providers moderated by the editorial team is good
  2. 1 or 2 sessions on Business Leadership Development would be helpful
  3. Also to stay active in front of the vendors community
  4. Obviously, the speech during the award ceremony gives motivation and energy to move forward for the rest of the year…

Shiv Kumar, Executive Vice President, ZSL,Inc

I have always found the networking opportunities to be very good at the VAR500. In years past, I've also benefited from the round table discussions with our peers.
