“The reasons why CMC are different and why there’s so much value and why we continue to attend, is really because of the level of intimacy that we have with our customers. The guests here are all of our critical customers and we know that being able to engage with them in this type of forum is going to lead to a lot of dividends in the long term.”

Padmaja Vrudhula, Senior Director, Global Accounts Customer Transformation, VMware

“For me, the Global CIO Banking Summit stands apart as a conference for three reasons. Number one, it’s an interactive format. Number two, there are senior people and interesting vendors. And number three, it’s an interactive setting away from distractions.”

Johan Kestens, CIO, ING Belgium

“CMC’s Summits are significant for a number of reasons but the primary reason is the unique collaboration. This collaboration is looking at the challenges facing the financial services industry. We look at those challenges from three different perspectives – those with the problem and how do they modernize to serve their customers. The vendors that can help them with that journey. And then the third perspective is the clients that they’re trying to serve. It’s that unique collaboration which makes this event stand out above anything else that we attend.”

Martin Sealy, Senior Director EMEA, OpenLegacy

“This event is different in many ways. It’s much more interactive. It’s also opening up for discussions with peers and that’s something I very much enjoy. I get invited to a number of events in my role and even though a lot of the invitations are really interesting – this one actually stood out because of its unique format that focusses on networking.”

Alf Otterstad, CIO, DNB

“CMC’s summits are unique because they bring very senior level executives together into a forum where they are communicating with each other and sharing their own thoughts about what is going on within their industry. We have closed a number of deals in just a very short period of time as a result of attending.”
