The software industry has a history of many contentious customer issues: maintenance, upgrades, service levels, product performance, ROI and so on. The CIO Dialogue at Software 2006 provides a forum for software vendors and major customers to discuss industry issues both in a town hall-style meeting and with one-on-one networking time. The objective of CIO Dialogue is for both sides to gain a better understanding of each others’ position and to move contentious issues towards an amicable resolution.

Complimentary registration for the CIO Dialogue and Software 2006 is provided for qualified CIOs and CTOs of end user organizations.

Software 2006 Special Program for CIOs

The CIO Dialogue program provides CIOs and CTOs time to spend both with each other and also with leading software companies. This “conference within a conference” allows CIOs to take advantage of the Software 2006 agenda by gathering a better understanding of the industry landscape and meeting leaders and innovators. The program culminates with the Celebrate! Software 2006 Gala Dinner where industry leaders will be recognized.
