Tekrati, the world’s most popular source for directories and news on the high tech industry analysts, is partnering with HMG Strategy to promote HMG's CIO Leadership Series in the US throughout 2010. The CIO Leadership Series events are designed for CxOs and other IT leaders interested in meeting and exchanging knowledge with peers in their local area. Registration is complimentary for qualified participants. Tech providers can participate as sponsors.

While the industry analysts continue to hold sway as enterprise IT decision advisors, market research studies by Forrester Research show that peers and colleagues have the greatest influence on enterprise IT decision makers. HMG Strategy's CIO Leadership Series recognizes the importance of peer-to-peer exchanges. Each event brings together IT leaders within a region for a full or half day of exchanging, sharing and learning from each other. The events at a glance:

• Market focus: regional to local attendees
• Short: 1-day and half-day events, appealing to busy IT decision makers
• Agenda: timely themes tailored directly by the speakers and attendees in the room
• Experts/influencers: CIOs, COOs, CxOs, IT directors and VPs share their strategies, experiences and lessons learned, both as featured speakers and via ongoing conversation and dialogue throughout the event
• Caliber of participants: Generally the CIO Leadership Series events draw an impressive group of speakers and participating attendees; in some cities, the summits are conducted in partnership with IT associations
• History: while still a young endeavor, there's now an established track record of events for attendee/sponsor assessment

As IT leadership peer level events go, the CIO Leadership Series puts many of the right pieces together.

For prospective sponsors, the CIO Leadership Series adds an important dimension to a mix of industry conferences, analyst events, professional association events, meetups and unconferences.

The 2010 schedule is posted at the HMG Strategy website. It begins with events in New York and San Francisco in February.
