WESTPORT, Conn., June 26, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HMG Strategy, the world's #1 digital platform for connecting technology executives to reimagine the enterprise and reshape the business world, is excited to announce its upcoming lineup of Virtual CIO Summits in Philadelphia, New York and Silicon Valley after zooming to the top of the industry as the premier producer of Virtual CIO and CISO Summits since shifting to a digital events format in early March.
HMG Strategy produced 10 Virtual Summits, Virtual Briefings and webinars in the first 30 days of the work-at-home environment - drawing 150 to 300+ technology executives to each event - with 60+ Virtual Events scheduled through August 2020.
These 90-minute virtual summits are focused on the steps that CIOs, CTOs, CISOs and technology executives can take in working with the CEO and the executive team to help reimagine the business and reshape the future of work as regional economies begin to open.
