Gartner Business Intelligence Summit

Smarter Decisions: BI and Performance Management take Center Stage
1-3 April 2008 - Chicago, IL - Hyatt Regency Chicago

Overview

Business Intelligence isn’t just about reporting anymore. Smart BI practitioners have harnessed the power of their business data to get the kind of business results every company needs to succeed – and now you can, too.

The Gartner Business Intelligence Summit is a multi-faceted BI conference with a unique “how to” focus. We’ll show you why smart BI is moving from simple rear-view reporting to a top-down strategic asset – and what role you play in making it happen. We’ll help you deliver a convincing business case for your BI initiatives – and explore new ways to engage the business users who need BI most. From applications and architecture to metrics and vendors, the Gartner Business Intelligence Summit will focus on real-world BI through case studies, best practices, product demonstrations and actionable advice.
