Come Join US…

There are plenty of conferences for technical executives and professionals around, but when registration opens, you always put it off – telling yourself that you:
- Can’t afford it
- Can’t spare the time away from your job and family
- AND… frankly you don’t really understand how it could possibly be worth the hassle.
But our TechVision conference is different.
- It’s focused on the consumers of technology, not the sellers
- It has small crowds and immersive sessions explaining complex topics that matter
- It has open access to experts in the emerging digital enterprise
- It presents independent and unbiased analysis of advances in technology and approach
- AND delivers pragmatic and practical advice from folks that have “been there and done that”
And because of that, you:
- Build your technical community
- Are exposed to new ideas and skills
- Learn new trends and technologies
- Get to recharge and get inspired
- Get time to strategize and plan
Frankly, concepts and skills that would take you so much time and money to learn on your own are literally handed to you on a silver platter at this conference.
So, if you’re ready to take your business and professional career to the next level, join us for four days of problem solving, meeting and learning that you’ll never forget.
Agenda
We’re developing the agenda to provide technology level sets, hype reality checks, and pragmatic advice for some of the more disruptive and heavily touted technologies. Through a mix of our primary research, end-user case studies, and vendor/end-user/industry panels we’ll cover topics in depth, but tempered with the pragmatism deep and diverse experience brings.

Our conference will:
- Be staunchly independent—no “pay to play” sponsors with speaking slots
- Focus on best practices for the end-user and the industry
- Provide pragmatic, actionable, stake-in-the-ground positions and recommendations—not fluff, hype or “marketectures”
- Focus on the “Intersection of Wall Street and Silicon Valley” consistent with TechVision’s mission; helping large organizations proactively and appropriately balance old and new business models and technologies
- Provide an environment that supports interaction, debate, and discussion designed to, ultimately, help to move technology users forward.
A note from CEO / Founder Gary Rowe
Since forming TechVision Research, I have been asked hundreds of times by those that knew and loved the old Burton Catalyst Conference (given its pragmatic, technically deep, strongly independent, and end-user focused themes) as to when TechVision would be producing our own conference. While this feedback indicated there was an unmet market need I thought we could address, I didn’t want to settle for just another event…Our first conference had to be a highly valuable, relevant, collaborative, immersive, educational and timely experience for our clients.
Now, 3½ years after the starting TechVision Research we have the right foundation; a diverse and world-class Principal Consulting Analyst team, a research and consulting customer base we regularly interact with and a portfolio of research and analysis that allow us to deliver what our customers have been asking for—an independent event packed with valuable information and pragmatic insights, free of vendor bias, and solely focused on addressing the critical needs of large end-user organizations.
I’m proud to announce that we will host the first annual TechVision conference from November 11th – 14th in San Diego. As I describe in my blog, The Soul of a New Research Company, we are building a new type of research company and this is reflected in our conference. Large enterprises have major challenges as they “keep the plane in the air” while building the next generation aircraft…and keeping it all secure. The theme of our inaugural event is Chrysalis which we’ll describe below. As enterprises consider new business models and supporting technologies, we believe it is critical to assemble the right infrastructure, participate in the right foundational ecosytems and, above all, keep it secure.
Last, but not least, we expect our first event to be fully subscribed given our intimate inaugural conference venue and I want to make sure that everyone has a fair chance to participate. On April 6 we will begin taking registrations for our main conference, pre-conference tutorials and post-conference workshops–all focused on educating and preparing large organizations to cut through the noise and make the best possible technology and business decisions. I look forward to seeing you in San Diego at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in November and thanks for your support.
