The delegation is comprised of the most important and well respected, senior executives, in the industry, and the 40-minute meeting format is designed to surpass the traditional exchange of business cards and allow executives to have a good discussion on a personal level.

C – LEVEL DELEGATES GDS events provide the highest level of delegates in the industry, senior executives from Fortune 200 companies who are responsible for budgets running into billions. Our summits offer unprecedented access to these individuals through the one-to-one meetings.

TARGETED CONTENT We work closely with the leading analyst companies on a global basis to deliver the best content and analysis at our events. All our workshops and panel discussions are targeted around pressing developments and need areas within the industry ensuring our events are at the cutting edge and helping to drive industry forward. Bringing the industries key leaders together allows a unique opportunity to identify key challenges and work together over the 3 days to understand the solutions that will enable them to improve their business.

“I found the last few days very valuable from many perspectives. The level of delegates has been fantastic – I can't ask for anything more. The great part has been doing lots of one-to-one meetings with the people we need to connect to in our customer base: the one-to-one meetings and the level of networking easily surpass any other event.” Simon Barnier – Lexmark

“It is one of the best formats that we are working with right now. We have sponsored two GDS summits and are looking forward to our third. The team have looked after us well and introduced us to customers we would not have otherwise met.” Andrew Wilson – Accenture

“This is clearly the best format on the market and the most cost effective way to do business development for us at Symantec. The meetings with delegates, their level, the business topics, the workshops and the networking – all make it a multifaceted event from which we got enormous value!” Arnaud Taddei – Symantec


QUALITY CONTROL At GDS International, our aim is to provide you with the optimum value for the two and a half days you’ll be joining us at the summit.

How we can guarantee this is simple: We ensure the best possible quality in delegate attendees. Just as it is important for you as a solution provider to meet with high level, budget holding, decision makers, it is important for us to provide our delegates with the targeted solution providers who can best meet their needs, thus justifying their time out of the office. Our delegation targets are determined through highly focused planning: 

Market research in partnership with global analyst firms to identify industry trends, challenges, and forecasted budget spending patterns

Review of topics and ideal delegates with our Summit Advisory Board, consisting of Global Industry Thought leaders and end users

Creation of a targeted program agenda to attract the relevant delegates

Formulation of a specific Delegate Target Report, which identifies the parameters in which we would define an ideal delegation, broken down by region, company size, budget size, and key focus areas.

Analysis of each delegate who confirms attendance with assigned points value based around correlation with delegate targets

PART 1: REGISTRATION PROFILE AO is no ordinary company – it delights in pushing boundaries and doing things differently, whether that be in its UK, German or future territory operations. With a motto ‘to be exceptional in the moments that matter’, at the heart of the business is an aspiration to change the world of retail, especially electrical retailing, for the better. AO is fanatical about making sure its customers get the best possible service out there. With a customer mandate led right from the very top of the business, AO believes in doing what is right and fair by the customer. Its CEO wants people who have shopped with AO to become intolerant of poor service, and to start to demand more from every other retail experience as a result of the way AO has treated them. NAME: Andrew Kirkcaldy EXECUTIVE TITLE: Group Brand Director COMPANY NAME: ao.com

Andrew started at AO in 2008. He has worked across many roles within the marketing starting with managing the Web Analytics, but within 20 mins his role grew to take on the paid performance marketing. Within 8 months he took charge of the whole marketing team (it was only 3 at the time!). He developed and built the team as the business grew, working with 3rd Party technology businesses. Key areas of focus was traffic growth through PPC/Affiliates & price comparison sites, SEO, website journey & experience, content management. He then joined the senior team as Director of Marketing to drive the strategic direction to focus on our own brand Appliances Online (now AO.com). He later led the initiative in setting up an in-house multimedia team to produce product video reviews. 3 years ago AO didn’t have the money to invest in ATL activity and therefore decided to focus on building their Social Media presence. He established a team to grow the brand through social media with the principle to have fun, create engagement and turn them into fans of the brand. In the last 7 months he has turned his sole attention to driving the brand taking ownership the external consumer brand and internal employer brand.
