Empowering Beyond Testimonials

“It gives a lot of private moments to be able to exchange ideas and ask people who presented more questions, so it’s been quite interesting”

-Maher Al-Haffar, Chief Financial Officer, CEMEX

“This is absolutely fabulous! It doesn’t feel like people are here because they have to be; they’re here because they want to be! I can see why. There’s something for everyone: you’re learning! The most valuable Summits are those where you can actually take something back and share it. I am ready to talk about Imagination! There is a lot of new here, information sharing, thought leadership.”

-Trina Ford, SVP & CISO, AEG

“This is my first Empowering Beyond event, and this was one of my best experiences. I came here with a mission to learn, to share and learn, and I have learned more than I have shared. It’s a good event and I have made a lot of good connections; I am going to cherish that.”

– Bharat Amin – Executive Vice President & Chief Information Officer, Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc.

“It has been incredible to attend Empowering Beyond. It’s very rare to be around thought leaders, leaders within all of these Fortune 250 companies, and individuals who are thinking about innovation on such a grand scale. It’s so empowering and so inspiring to be around all of these business leaders to put our minds together to ask, What does the future look like and how do we get there?”

– Sidney M. Prescott, Head of Intelligent Automation, Spotify

“As a CIO I find it really valuable to attend Avasant’s Empowering Beyond Summit. I also find it to be great vendor representation – the kinds of vendors who help us to strategically think about what our solutions are and what opportunities we have. As LA prepares for the 2028 Olympics, these vendors and thought leaders are extremely important for providing a showcase to the world.”

– Ted Ross, former CIO, City of LA

“When I come to an event like this that Avasant is having, and being able to be around incredible people you get out of your normal environment and you get put into a different type of environment that is very free flowing with lots of ideas. Just listening to how someone thinks about something that you think about kind of elevates your thinking and I find it super stimulating”

– Greg Goff, Board Member, Exxon Mobil

“It’s really important to get a perspective and also to network with your industry peers to learn from other organizations, not only in your own industry but other industries. That’s really important to understand where we are and where we’re going to be in the next 5 or 10 years.”

– Frank Scavo, Partner, Avasant
