Founded in 2004 to address the event production needs of the State of Oregon, The IT Summit has grown to be the premier producer of world class, regionally-focused leadership conferences for top technology executives and managers in both the public and private sectors.

The IT Summit conferences are built by and for senior IT leaders. Each event is overseen by an Executive Board comprised of IT leaders that actively direct the content of the events. This board provides recommendations for speakers, featured technologies, and other conference inclusions. This direct guidance of the conference by IT professionals ensures that each of The IT Summit information technology conferences fulfills the goals of promoting economic development, promoting IT education, and promoting the proliferation of information technology. As a result of the active participation of members of the IT industry in the organization of each event, The IT Summit conferences provide distinctive learning and business development resources for IT leaders from the government, education, and corporate communities, as well as providing support to state and local governments, traditional colleges and universities, professional technology associations. Additionally, The IT Summit provides complimentary sponsorships for key technology associations, and complimentary admission for their IT-professional members. The IT Summit conferences also welcome IT leaders of foreign companies and governments to sponsor, exhibit and attend our conferences for the purpose of creating international business relationships.
