## Reviews

### Impressive lineup for 2018 — 4.2/5

*By Mark Monfort*

Impressive lineup of speakers and great connections I was able to build with other attendees that I still hold into 2020

### Great opportunity to meet many relevant people. — 4/5

*By Ruud Hochstenbach*

This events offers a great opportunity to meet relevant people and have a first introductory conversation.  How serious the lead is will only be clear in the following weeks. Still, at this stage I think it is a great event to meet so many people in a short period of time.

### Surprisingly segmented — 3/5

*By Duncan Chapple*

The keynote really summed it up for me:  CIOs listening to a Nobel Prize winner in one hotel, and the vendor-side audience in the other hotel watching on a screen. Vendors could not be made to feel more second-class if they tried. 

### Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2018 Barcelona. — 4.4/5

*By Rahul Chauhan*

Organised at a grand level, An excellent opportunity to interact with the CIOs and the senior IT executives. Explore the new ages of business, ideal event to uncover emerging trends and get an expert insight that will enrich one's strategy and drive the business forward.

### Good place to learn about the important topics for coming years — 4/5

*By Ramon van Leeuwen*

I attend the Gartner Symposium ITxPO almost every year for the last years to learn, network, connect and engage with analysts, vendors and peers. This is a very valuable time and helps a lot for our strategic roadmap.
