WESTPORT, Conn., June 05, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HMG Strategy, the world's leading digital platform for connecting technology executives to reimagine the enterprise and reshape the business world, is highly anticipating its upcoming Virtual CIO Summits in Greenwich, Detroit and the U.K. after soaring to the top of the industry as the #1 producer of Virtual CIO and CISO Summits since shifting to a digital events format in early March.
HMG Strategy produced 10 Virtual Summits, Virtual Briefings and webinars in the first 30 days of the work-at-home environment - drawing 150 to 300+ technology executives to each event - with 40+ Virtual Events scheduled through July 2020.
These 90-minute virtual summits are focused on the courageous leadership qualities that CIOs, CTOs, CISOs and technology executives must demonstrate during times of crisis. The all-star casts that are assembled for each of these events also explore the top challenges and opportunities facing technology executives in the work-from-home environment – including how to keep employees engaged and motivated – along with how they are working with the executive team to reimagine the business and the future of work as regional economies begin to open back up.
“Since mid-March, we have drawn thousands of highly engaged technology leaders to our virtual events while our competitors have sat it out,” said Hunter Muller, President and CEO of HMG Strategy. “We will continue to draw on the feedback from our regional Advisory Boards and top technology executives who comprise the 400,000-strong HMG community along with the unique research that we conduct to make our events compelling and meaningful for forward-looking technology executives who are looking to reimagine the business and reshape the future of work.”
