Midsize Enterprise Summit, now in its eighth year, is the only global event addressing the information technology issues unique to midsize organizations. The event embraces mid-market specific issues, trends and solutions from a cross industry perspective to discuss business.

"CIOs of medium-sized firms plan to increase their IT budgets by 5 percent for 2008," said Jim Browning, Gartner Research Vice President. Fueling this growth are new demands on mid-market CIOs. Their midsize organizations require the same critical IT challenges as their Fortune 500 counterparts. But with limited staffing, these CIOs must employ creative workarounds to fit their budgets.
