INVESTMENT QUESTIONNAIRES
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:
Industry leading decision makers, and your potential customers, under one roof at one time Be part of the discussions that shape the industry’s future Have a platform to announce new developments to the people who matter Network and develop contacts that will strengthen your business Position your company as a genuine market leader Maximize your spend by targeting your needs and solutions to relevant decision makers Educate your potential customers of the key benefits of your value proposition and raise your profile in the industry Increase your exposure to your target audience Win new business through the networking and one to one meetings
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

PART 1: REGISTRATION PROFILE In 50 years, the Carrefour Group has become a world leader in the retail sector. The second largest retailer in the world and the largest in Europe, the Group now features four major grocery retail formats: hypermarkets, supermarkets, cash & carry and convenience stores. The Carrefour Group currently has over 9,900 company-owned and franchise stores. A pioneer in countries such as Brazil in 1975 and China in 1995, the Group now operates on three major markets: Europe, Latin America and Asia. With a presence in more than 30 countries, it generates more than 55% of its sales outside France. Everywhere it operates, the Carrefour Group demonstrates its commitment to local economic growth. Because retail involves people, it always gives priority to recruiting people who live locally, and to training its managers and staff on site. Very often, the Carrefour Group is the premier private employer in the countries in which it operates. This is obviously the case in France – where the group was founded – but it also holds true in countries such as Brazil, Argentina and Italy. At the same time, the Group gives priority to local supply chains. So 75% of all its food products come from local suppliers in the countries in which it operates.

PART 1: REGISTRATION PROFILE hmv is a leading specialist retailer of music, film, games and technology products, with over 120 stores around the UK, offering a wide selection of new release and catalogue titles. The hmv brand, made famous by the iconic image of the ‘dog and trumpet’ trademark featuring ‘Nipper, is practically synonymous with the very history and development of British popular music and culture. hmv’s rich heritage as a retail specialist stretches back over 90 years to 20th July 1921 when its first store in London’s Oxford Street was officially opened by the celebrated British composer and conductor, Sir Edward Elgar. Towards the end of the noughties, hmv's growth started to slow as the internet and digital distribution began to change the retail landscape. In response to these changes, HMV sought to diversify into new ways of giving people the access to the music, film and games they love with investments in venues, festivals and cinemas. In 2013, HMV Group plc went into administration, with a new, streamlined hmv emerging two months later under new ownership as a lean and agile private company.
