CHM Presents ìAn Evening with Gideon Gartner, in conversation with Neill Brownsteinî For 30 years, IT industry analysts have held sway as global intermediaries between technologists and media, governments, universities and investors. Yet, they are also fundamentally tethered to the evolution of technology. An entrepreneur and CEO, Gideon Gartner founded and built three information technology and investment research companies, and is best known as leader of Gartner Inc. which at over $1 billion in revenue is the worldís leading IT Advisory firm. His other companies were Soundview Technology (sold to Schwab) and GIGA Information Group (sold to Forrester Research). The premise for each of his firms was a radical departure from then-current practice. Gartner holds B.S. and M.S. degrees from M.I.T. and M.I.T.ís Sloan School of Management, respectively. After schooling, Gartner worked for System Development Corp. (SDC), IBM, and Oppenheimer & Co., where he was voted in the principal poll of financial institutions (Institutional Investor Magazine) as the leading individual computer industry analyst, for six consecutive years. Join us as we present industry analyst marketplace pioneer Gideon Gartner, in conversation with venture capitalist Neill Brownstein, for an evening of candid and personal insights on the rise of IT industry analysts.
