Testimonials

CITY IT - it's the IT event to which all others aspire.

Michael Schaefer, Director
Chase De Vere



Excellent - it has exceeded my expectations.

Ben Stollard, Sales Manager Financial Services
Cognos Ltd



Short, concise set of meetings with potential suppliers in a business like environment. Excellent venue for meeting other delegates with similar experiences and issues.

Clarel Sookun, Head of IT
Deutsche Postbank AG London



A very focused and productive event. The attention to my personal itinerary was excellent. Almost everyone I met had done their homework, tailored their pitch and was ready to do business.

Gareth Owens, Head of IT
Engage Mutual



Valuable. You don't normally get the chance to meet with so many like minded professionals and unhurried suppliers in such a short space of time. CITY IT brings the best together in comfortable surroundings. I boarded with questions and disembarked with answers.

Nick Clansey, Head of IT
Financial Ombudsman



A well planned and faultlessly executed event. For the IT director, a forum to network and get stimulating ideas from peers and industry experts. Certainly worth attending.

Sakis Kitsopanidis, IT Director
Ford Financial Europe



Overall, to touch base with 50+ companies in such a short timeframe can only be a good idea.

Richard Murray, Senior Manager
GDCM (Global DataCenter Management)



This was our second year at CITY IT. It has been an extremely worthwhile event for us. We can attribute a significant amount of business to last year’s event and every meeting was a positive one.

Adrian Groeneveld, Senior Product Marketing Manager EMEA
Pillar Data Systems



Excellent event with the focus on the financial services industry trends, practical innovation and great networking.

Natasha Davydova, Group Head of Technology
Standard Chartered Bank



Very productive - an ideal way to develop new relationships for future opportunities.

Alan Reilly, Managing Director
Test Direct UK



We met with over 50 companies in the 2 days and generated more than 20 good leads, I can't imagine how long it would take during the normal course of business to make contact with so many influencers and decision makers.

John Colgan, Head of Business Development
Voicevault



An extremely productive and effective two days, delivering face to face meetings that would otherwise take months to get in place.

Henry Fieglein, Chief Innovation Officer
Wyse Technology
