The CIO SUMMIT FAQs

ATTENDANCE & REGISTRATION

The CIO Summit is an invitation-only event. To receive an invitation, you must hold the title of CIO or direct technology activities at a major hotel, casino, cruise line, management or timeshare company. If you think you qualify to attend the Summit , e-mail rich@theciosummit.com. ** If your CIO cannot attend, you CAN'T send anyone else. Our invitation list includes the who's who of the industry. And although we want the Summit to grow, we will never compromise quality for quantity.

If you qualify to attend the Summit and have received an invitation, we must receive your online registration by July 26, 2011. A link to online registration is included in the official invitation.

There is no registration fee to attend the Summit . Attendees are only responsible for transportation and lodging costs. All other costs are covered by our sponsors, including: registration fees, receptions and meals, Golf Tournament greens & club rental fees, airport arrival transfers and private shuttle service at the conference's conclusion.

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

The Summit offers CIOs a rare combination of networking, social events and program. Attendees are free to form critical relationships with their peers in a relaxed environment. There will be plenty of opportunities to meet your peers whether it is at the sit-down dinners (where we specifically circulate you to have an opportunity to sit with all attendees), in the interactive sessions, at the cocktail receptions, during the icebreakers and networking activities or playing a round of golf in the CIO Golf Tournament. Seating is assigned at each of our events to encourage interaction.

SPONSORSHIPS
The CIO Summit is not a commercial endeavor, but a high level meeting for CIOs from around the world. There will be very limited sponsorships available. We do not allow any formal sponsor presentations, but we will allow the sponsors to briefly welcome the attendees to the Summit and join us at conference events and functions. Again, this will not be a sales conference, but a closed-door conference for CIOs to discuss the issues at hand without interruption or unsolicited information.

SPOUSE PROGRAM
The 2011 CIO Summit will have a corresponding spouse program. There will be space reserved for a Spouse Breakfast Sept. 7-9. After breakfast, spouses are encouraged to explore the area together; sample itineraries will be provided. Additionally, spouses are invited to attend the cocktail and dinner events on Wednesday, September 7 and Thursday, September 8 free of charge and all spouses will be given a voucher to use at the Mandarin Oriental, Miami’s award-winning spa. Please register your spouse for the 2011 CIO Summit Spouse Program on your attendee registration form.
