Penha Longa Hotel & Golf Resort
Portugal

Walk in the footsteps of royalty along the gorgeous Estoril coastal region of Portugal. Penha Longa Hotel and Golf Resort traces its origins back to the 14th century, includes a landmark monastery that was built on its ground and has been a frequent retreat of Portuguese royal and foreign dignitaries. A graceful palazzo-style estate set amongst the spectacular rolling hills, lush gardens, and clear lakes of the southern Sintra mountains.

Why attend?


On the advice of our Analyst Partners end user Advisory Panel, GDS has elected more than 65 of the most well respected CXO decision makers in the European utilities industry.

Invitations are based on the investments these executives are currently making in the market. Many of these executives have worked closely with us on previous events.

The Next Generation Utilities: Technology Summit will provide a number of different networking channels to execute and promote business. Our business model is built around the success of networking and focused interactive workshops. The Information & Communications Technology executives will engage in business meetings with solution providers who are specific to their business challenges and areas of future investment.

Another very exciting part of our agenda is the “working lunch roundtable discussions”, which comprise a moderator, panelists and industry leaders discussing modern day issues affecting Utilities.

Whilst there are a dozen sponsors in attendance, the program is designed with the end user in mind. The delegate attendance is comprised of the most well respected executives in the Utilities, and the meeting format is designed to surpass the traditional exchange of business cards and allow executives to have a good discussion on a personal level.

Who should attend? CEOs, CIOs, CTOs – Functional leaders in technology and information.
