Well, Gartner is tranforming the old Gartner IT & Software Asset Management Summit.  They have broadened the appeal and topic coverage and renamed it the Gartner Financial, Procurement & Asset Management Summit.  This Summit will be  held October 27 - 29  at the Sheraton San Diego.  The rather difficult, but descriptive name clearly lays out the plan - to encourage more decision makers in the business of IT to the summit - regardless of their title.  Considering the desired audience are the large enterprises, I think this is an excellent move.  The business of IT has as many individual titles and roles as one can imagine.  We are never going to be as regimented as Doctor, Nurse, Engineer.  The decision makers in Finance and Procurement haven’t always understood what they were missing.  Some of this is our problem - we use the same words they do (asset management, contract management) and then apply an entire extra set of business practices to them that they might not even realize.
