CHM Presents
ìAn Evening with Gideon Gartner, in conversation with Neill Brownsteinî
A rare evening of candid and personal insights
from information age visionary and industry
analyst pioneer Gideon Gartner
For 30 years, IT industry analysts have held
sway as global intermediaries between
technologists and media, governments,
universities and investors. Yet, they are also
fundamentally tethered to the evolution of
technology.
An entrepreneur and CEO, Gideon Gartner founded
and built three information technology and
investment research companies, and is best known
as leader of Gartner Inc. which at over $1
billion in revenue is the worldís leading IT
Advisory firm. His other companies were
Soundview Technology (sold to Schwab) and GIGA
Information Group (sold to Forrester Research).
The premise for each of his firms was a radical
departure from then-current practice. Gartner
holds B.S. and M.S. degrees from M.I.T. and
M.I.T.ís Sloan School of Management,
respectively. After schooling, Gartner worked
for System Development Corp. (SDC), IBM, and
Oppenheimer & Co., where he was voted in the
principal poll of financial institutions
(Institutional Investor Magazine) as the leading
individual computer industry analyst, for six
consecutive years.
Join us as we present industry analyst
marketplace pioneer Gideon Gartner, in
conversation with venture capitalist Neill
Brownstein, for an evening of candid and
personal insights on the rise of IT industry
analysts.
