Gideon Gartner speaks at Computer History Museum on May 15th

The Computer History Museum invites you to attend a special event next week, when they present industry analyst marketplace pioneer Gideon Gartner, in conversation with venture capitalist Neill Brownstein. Part of the CHM Presents speaker series, the evening offers a rare opportunity to hear Mr. Gartner share candid and personal insights on the rise of IT industry analysts. The talk takes place at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA, USA, starting at 6:30 pm. Free, suggested $10 donation at the door.

An entrepreneur and CEO, Gideon Gartner founded and built three information technology and investment research companies, and is best known as leader of Gartner Inc. which at over $1 billion in revenue is the world’s leading IT Advisory firm. His other companies were Soundview Technology (sold to Schwab) and GIGA Information Group (sold to Forrester Research). The premise for each of his firms was a radical departure from then-current practice. Mr. Gartner holds B.S. and M.S. degrees from M.I.T. and M.I.T.’s Sloan School of Management, respectively. After schooling, Mr. Gartner worked for System Development Corp. (SDC), IBM, and Oppenheimer & Co., where he was voted in the principal poll of financial institutions (Institutional Investor Magazine) as the leading individual computer industry analyst, for six consecutive years.
