HOW OUR SUMMITS WORK GDS summits are designed to provide a number of different networking channels to execute and promote business. Each summit takes place over a 3 day period and includes a combination of one-to-one prescheduled meetings, focused interactive workshops as well as constant networking opportunities. Senior decision makers will engage in business meetings with solution providers who are specific to their business challenges and areas of future investment. 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.
Key benefits:

WHY ARE WE INDUSTRY LEADERS? FACE-TO-FACE MEETINGS Our Summits offer meetings on a pre-arranged, face-to-face, basis. According to a recent Forbes study, 92% of CEOs believe face-to-face meetings are the best way to win new business. The Forbes survey revealed:
87% of company managers surveyed preferred face-to-face meetings 92% think such an approach saves them time and 88% say it saves money 85% believe such an approach creates a more solid and stronger relationship 75% believe such an approach creates better social interaction
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

NAME: André van der Merwe EXECUTIVE TITLE: Operations Manager COMPANY NAME: Nkwe Platinum
André started his career in 1987 with JCI Ltd as an exploration geophysicist. He gained experience of mining as a mine geologist and rock engineer. The late 90s saw him spreading his wings, gaining experience geographically and at executive level (exploration manager & director of JCI (Tanzania) Ltd). In 1999 André started up a local branch of a boutique Australian consultancy (Resource Service Group) which taught some hard lessons on cash-flow management. This initiative blossomed and was eventually taken over by the Coffey group. He next joined SRK Consulting, where he became a Partner. The exceptional quality of the assets lured him to Nkwe Platinum in 2007, where he took on the role of operations manager. Here he planned, budgeted and managed a very large exploration project from first drillhole through feasibility stage and has already initiated the next stage: construction of a world-class mine.
