The June 4th and 5th 2008 Midwest Technology Leaders Symposium's format and content have been built by an experienced, collaborative team — a team who has listened, intently, to feedback from sponsors and delegates from the previous three successful years. Community partners, marketing partners, sponsors and previous attendees have all contributed to the creation of this year's program, which promises to be better than ever before.

Our Delegates Continue to Comment on Why They Return:

"The format is excellent and unique."
"We came away with many new and interesting ideas; and we felt that, as a group, everyone was intently listening and sharing..."
"The impressive speaker roster is wonderful. We gained additional, new insights in a short time that we would not have, without this forum — from the roundtables to the panel discussions to the hallway discussions to the meals. The conversations, and the presentations were more than helpful"
"I felt like I was among a group of peers, and that they were working with me, through my challenges."
"This is one event that I will not miss, if I can help it!"

That is, also, why MTL sponsors have come back, year after year. Here is what several of them have said, in their own words.

What Our Sponsors Have Said

Sun Microsystems

"Sun Microsystems has sponsored the Midwest Technology Leaders Symposium, since its inception, and is excited to continue its support, this year. The event format lends itself to an environment, conducive to best practice sharing in the IT world, with active participation from the end user and IT provider communities.

The meeting agenda is varied and a number of sessions include techniques to foster audience interaction, which improves networking and best practice sharing. These techniques are not often employed at other IT events; this gives this event differentiated value."

Midwest Systems Practice Leader, Sun Microsystems

Kelly IT Resources

"In 2007, Kelly Systems participated, as an MTL sponsor, based on our positive experience in meeting with IT professionals, during the public portion of the program the prior year. Being a sponsor allowed us to be more directly involved; and interface with the speakers and attendees, as well as be a contributor to the success of the event. We are always looking for the best events to attend that will allow us to grow our business while expanding our local partnerships.

Last year (2007) we met with both existing and potential customers and actually received significant new business as a result of our conversations. The return on investment was easy to recognize and we are looking forward to our sponsorship again this year."

District Manager, Kelly IT Resources, Michigan, N. Ohio and N. Indiana

CA (formerly Computer Associates)

"The major accounts team at CA enthusiastically commented, during our two years of sponsorship, that this event was unique among the multiple marketing activities in which they participated. They were able to 'connect' with key decision-makers in a relaxed, collaborative setting; the opportunities for interaction were unparalleled; and the ROMI (return on marketing investment) was more than realized from the number of opportunities that went into their pipelines throughout the following 90-120 days."
