From the conference website:

SIG's Global Summits are packed with the latest best practices, cost-cutting strategies, innovative processes, and risk-mitigation approaches. You'll hear from industry thought leaders and have the opportunity to network with like-minded professionals facing similar challenges.

SIG Summits are unlike any other events out there. SIG's explicit no-selling rules mean providers don't sell to corporate buyers. The result? A relaxed and open setting in which participants let their guard down and exchange practical solutions freely. Presentations are up-close and transparent; interactions are natural and direct. There's no better place to get trusted insight and make powerful connections. Period.
