An Unforgettable Experience at the GDS Group CIO Summit!
I'm still buzzing from the incredible GDS Group CIO Summit! What an exceptionally well-organized and insightful event. Every speaker delivered immense value, offering fresh perspectives and deep dives into the most pressing challenges and exciting opportunities facing CIOs today. The quality of the presentations was truly top-notch, and I found myself engaged and inspired by each one.

It was a tremendous honor and privilege to participate as a panelist alongside such distinguished thought leaders. The discussion was dynamic, collaborative, and incredibly enriching, and I thoroughly enjoyed the exchange of ideas. Connecting with peers and sharing insights on such a vital platform was an experience I won't soon forget.

I sincerely hope to have the opportunity to be a part of more GDS Group events in the future. Thank you for an outstanding summit!

While I have attended many of the GDS events over the years, I found them most valuable when I participated on panel discussions and breakout sessions. You get more out when you put more in.

This week, I was asked to step in as the opening keynote. I enjoyed the opportunity to share my journey while also challenging the audience to be their best by developing those who will follow them as C-Suite leaders. I got good feedback and spent the rest of the conference in deep and frank discussions on leadership, building the future, and where AI can add value.

Impressed with the format of the day-and-half CIO Summit. Densely packed and well organized, what stood out was the round table and the 1:1 sessions. I also appreciated the flexibility to reschedule meetings and to skip some sessions to attend to work meetings.

The GDS team really runs a top-notch event. They were very responsive to any questions or concerns we had, and were always looking for ways to improve the experience.

It is my first GDS summit and GDS has been an excellent facilitator of all the sessions and speeches. I loved that people from different regions and vendors of different varieties have been part of it. I wish there was more similar partners in scope and I was informed the other event that I couldnt make will be more ideal for my interest, nothing that GDS can be accounted for. Good luck for them and great job by GDS team!

GDS hosts very well organized events. I have attended a couple of them. It provides a platform to make some valuable connections and learn about cutting-edge innovations across the industry. The atmosphere is very welcoming and encouraging for meaningful conversations. The guest speakers and panelists are incredibly insightful. Also love the balance between structured sessions and open networking time.

Great event, on all fronts
- Organization and attention to details
- Very inspiring and knowledgeable speakers with diverse experiences that were very helpful and shared insightful and inspiring thoughts and frameworks
- Great networking event
- Time very well planned and spent
- Great future projects could happen as a result of collaboration with others

A truly worthwhile experience. Really appreciated the knowledge and candor of the Key Note speakers and Round Table leads. Informative to hear current successes/challenges of other financial institutions. And always relevant to hear/observe the latest Fintech offerings from vendors.

“ This was my first GDS summit at Eaglewood Resort and Spa in Itasca, Il in Mar. 2025 and it was done with superb precision and professionalism.

The breakout sessions were exactly tailored to my needs and I made concise, impactful connections in these powerful mini-sessions.

That is what makes the GDS Summit unique, these custom mini-sessions with solutions providers that are mutually interested in meeting you!!! Excellent!

I would like to personally thank Claudia Furst for exceptional design & execution of the summit and some of her key team members:

Kasia Ozimek
Emily Casey
Dijellza Sadiku
Erza Xhelili

Well done by an A-Class team !!!
Cheers!!!!"

I’ve had the opportunity to attend several GDS Group events, including dinners in NYC and offsite sessions in San Diego and Dallas. Each one has been incredibly well-organized, thoughtful, and highly insightful—especially in my area of expertise, Risk Management and Compliance Risk.

What truly sets GDS Group apart is their team. They are consistently professional, welcoming, and deeply committed to supporting attendees throughout each event. Their dedication creates a seamless and engaging experience from start to finish.

These events are not only a great opportunity to gain valuable insights, but also to connect with other professionals in the field. I highly recommend GDS Group to anyone looking to stay ahead in their industry.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Excellent Experience, Insightful, Professional, and High Value

I had fantastic experience with GDS Group. Their events are thoughtfully curated, highly engaging, and packed with relevant, real-world insights from senior level professionals. The team was incredibly professional and communicative throughout the entire process, making it easy to participate and get value from the engagement.

What stood out the most was the caliber of the attendees and speakers, every interaction felt meaningful and productive. Whether you’re looking to expand your network, explore new solutions, or share your own expertise, GDS creates a perfect environment for impactful conversations.

Highly recommend GDS Group for any executive looking to stay ahead of the curve!

Had a great time at the GDS Banking Innovation Summit in Tampa. No fluff—just real conversations with fellow leaders on how AI, data, and automation are reshaping banking.

The sessions were sharp (loved the one on Agentic AI!) and the networking felt genuine, not forced. Hats off to the GDS team for curating a space where execs can actually exchange ideas that matter.

Already looking forward to the next one

The ability to share knowledge and compare notes on supply chain strategies across industries, and to make connections to share best practices was very rewarding.

Attended my first GDS event - it won't be my last. As a speaker and attendee, I was pleased with how the entire event was executed, and the value it brought. From current topics, to sharp speakers, to the engaged audience - much thanks and congrats to the GDS team!

Attending the North America Security Insight Summit hosted by GDS Group was a standout experience. From the curated guest list of senior executives to the thoughtfully organized sessions and project-based meetings, every aspect was intentional and high-impact.

The event provided a rare opportunity to have real conversations with leaders who are not only shaping security strategy but actively driving transformation across industries. The one-on-one meetings, expert roundtables, and structured networking made the experience both productive and personal.

Special thanks to Kasia Ozimek and the GDS team for their professionalism and support throughout the onboarding and summit experience. This wasn’t just another conference—it was a space built for connection, insight, and execution.

Highly recommend for any executive looking to elevate their thinking and engage with true peers in the cybersecurity and risk space.

I recently attended the GDS CMO Marketing Summit and walked away enjoying the conference. The keynote presentations delivered insights and forward-thinking strategies that were not only relevant but actionable. One of the most valuable aspects of the event was the opportunity to engage with vendors offering innovative solutions to some of the real challenges we're currently facing.

What truly set the summit apart, though, was the peer-to-peer connection. The ability to exchange ideas and experiences with fellow marketing leaders across industries created meaningful conversations and relationships that I know will last well beyond the summit. A big thank you to the GDS team for curating such a well-organized and impactful event!

Was my first GDS Security summit. The panel topics/speakers; roundtables and keynote topics were hitting the current trends/risks in the financial services industry such as: several aspects of AI, Cyber resiliency and more. The venue, the accommodations, food and drinks were great. We met several vendors and actually found a potential match with 2 of the vendors

Last but not least, Margarita and the GDS Team were marvelous.

Cheers

When I attended last year (2024) the event seemed more natural and better organized. This time (2025) around I did not like the accommodation, they didn't say anything about not covering the cost of travel from airport to the resort which I was not notified of until 2 days before the event via email. I felt that they were very pushy about the vendors and also more than half of them I talked to were irrelevant to my work. I'm not sure if I got the value I expected. Speakers were good and I wish we have more time to connect to the attendees vs. spending time with irrelevant vendors. 6 were too many maybe scale that back to the targeted and relevant 3!

My experience with GDS was exceptional, largely due to the thoughtful structure and professionalism embedded in many aspects of the event. The GDS team demonstrated a high level of professionalism in how the event was organized, from communication to execution. Unlike many other forums, the pace of the event felt balanced and intentional, with no pressure-filled hard selling from vendors or even from GDS, which allowed for more genuine and productive conversations.

What truly stood out was GDS’s focus on enabling meaningful peer-to-peer interaction. The opportunity to connect with fellow professionals, not just vendors, created a networking environment that felt curated and valuable. This approach transformed the event into more than just a sales opportunity; it became a space for strategic knowledge sharing and industry insights.

The flexibility to select sessions that aligned with my interests made the experience feel personalized and efficient. The venue itself struck the right balance between professional and social, supporting both focused discussions and casual networking.

Perhaps most commendable was GDS’s effort to understand the background and priorities of each attendee. This translated into more relevant meetings and sessions, making the event beneficial for professionals, vendors, and GDS alike.

While the experience was largely positive, there’s always room to refine the matchmaking process even further, particularly to ensure all scheduled meetings are mutually aligned in terms of interest and value. Additionally, expanding interactive formats (like roundtables or small group discussions) could further elevate peer learning and engagement.

Overall, GDS is doing an excellent job creating a professional, strategic, and collaborative experience that respects attendees’ time and priorities.

GDS provides fabulous opportunities to learn latest trend and technologies and help networking with solution providers for various options. There selection of venue as well as food and drinks service is awesome. Arranging shuttles to go back to airport is worth mentioning. Looking forward to attend more events in coming future.
