Dear Colleagues,

The annual Minneapolis CIO Executive Summit, built “by CIOs, for CIOs,” is truly our breeding ground for success. Now in its seventh year, this renowned conference continues to attract the leading IT executives in our region, fostering a collaborative environment where together we break old molds and challenge one another to new heights in leadership.

Our Twin Cities region has a strong, diversified economy where average unemployment is consistently below the national average, and per capita income is above it. We enjoy our status as an important financial center and one of America’s major high-technology centers. Greater Minneapolis is rich soil for these industries, as well as the many others that you represent.

The CIO Executive Summit provides an exceptional setting for strategic networking with our peers from the largest organizations in Greater Minneapolis. Together we will share best practices, glean leadership insights and dive into the immediate issues facing us all as enterprise CIOs in 2013.

As this is the globally recognized leadership and networking conference for IT executives, we are confident that you will come away inspired, energized and equipped.

On behalf of the entire Governing Body, we look forward to meeting with you.

Sincerely,

Your Governing Body Co-Chairs
