Senior Leadership Circle Program

Exclusive Leadership Track

Designed specifically for IT infrastructure and/or operations (I&O) leaders, the Senior Leadership Circle offers a curated executive experience, delivering targeted sessions, discussions and networking opportunities throughout the conference. We recommend applying for this program when you register for the conference as seats for the Senior Leadership Circle sessions are limited and fill up quickly. Make sure you don’t miss out on this exclusive experience, available only to verified IT I&O leaders attending Gartner IT Infrastructure, Operations & Cloud Strategies Conference.

“After a six-year hiatus from the conference, I’m thrilled to be back, now as part of the Senior Leadership Circle. The networking within the circle has been exceptional, and the keynote speakers have delivered truly insightful and thought-provoking sessions. I’m eager to bring these transformative ideas back to my organization to drive meaningful initiatives forward.
