yourepresent an IT vendor organization, we recommend you ask and/or facilitate securing an IT end-user customer to
present.If you represent an IT vendor organization and you prefer to submit an executive speaker from your company --
ratherthan an IT end-user customer/executive -- we strongly recommend you propose your senior-most executive -- CEO or
COO-- as those titles are the most likely vendor speakers to be considered.)
