“At Computerworld’s Business Intelligence Perspectives Conference you get a chance to collaborate with a very focused community and I find great value in hearing what others in my position are up to. To hear the insights of others and to understand their ideas is very worthwhile to me.”

-Robert Fort, CIO, Director of Information Technology, Virgin Entertainment Group, Inc.



Computerworld’s Business Intelligence Perspectives is well organized, has great content, and the cross-industry perspectives are very important to me. I attend many health care conferences, but going to BI and seeing how different industries apply business intelligence to different market segments is extremely valuable insight.”

—- Dr. Ronald Paulus, Chief Technology and Innovation Officer,
Geisinger Health System
