The complexities of global connectivity are increasing; therefore, it's becoming imperative to keep up with industry trends. ConNEXTions 2013 is meant to help participants ramp up their global communications strategy.

This high-level program will be beneficial to senior level IT and telecommunications executives, particularly those in C-Level positions, such as CIOs, CTOs, CSOs, CISOs, in addition to presidents, VPs and directors. The event will provide critical insights on business continuity, cloud infrastructure, conferencing and collaboration, data security, enterprise platforms and security, mobile connectivity, network convergence, unified communications among others.
Speakers from a variety of industries will be featured including; healthcare, government, education, agriculture, finance, retail and manufacturing. The diversity of the group will garner a complete industry perspective, rather than solely focusing on a single industry or one problem. Furthermore, the keynote speakers at ConNEXTions 2013 are considered pillars in the information technology industry. Richie Etwaru, Chief Operating Officer Group Technology - Platform Services, UBS; Jon Walton, Chief Information Officer, City & County of San Francisco Department of Technology; and Ralph Loura, Chief Information Officer, The Clorox Company will all share their first-hand experience and stories that have made them thought leaders within this space.

"Frost & Sullivan's Executive MindXchange provides a highly interactive format to share ideas and make solid business contacts," said Jeff Toewe, Chief Information Officer at Cinergy International. "This format provides an ideal environment to learn, find industry experts and new business opportunities. The 'informal and fun' aspect of the Executive MindXchange really helps customers and vendors to get to know each other in positive way; we learn about common experiences and challenges during sessions.
