SIGnature Hybrid Events are powerful one-day meetings in which buy-side practitioners benchmark with other organizations and network with colleagues facing similar issues. This hybrid event offers an Executive Roundtable, General Session Speakers offering training and practical, implementable tools, CPO Presentations, Analyst Overviews, and SIG Talks (15-minute discussions in a "Ted Talk" format).
