Looking back, it has been a tremendous year for The IT Media Group – our most successful ever. We know that we couldn’t have done it without you, and we thank you for your amazing support!
Here are 10 of the year’s highlights for ITMG:
- We started off 2013 with a bang, receiving one of 12 awards given globally by LinkedIn for Best Company Pages of 2012, joining the likes of The Walt Disney Company, CNBC, Hubspot and Adobe
- We welcomed new clients from a variety of industries – from information and communications technology to e-waste recycling
- We sealed strategic partnerships with Fortune 500 firms to help them build C-level content and relationships with their target markets
- Our CIO Master Series roundtables enjoyed their best year ever. Bookings reached five roundtables in a four-month period, with stops in Toronto, Calgary and Ottawa. And our final Toronto roundtable drew a full house of 19 senior IT executives
- We landed exclusive rights to handle Canadian public relations for a major IT vendor
- We rebuilt a corporate Web site from the ground up for one of Canada’s leading E-waste recyclers
- We delivered a variety of videos, reports, research studies, marketing materials and messaging workshops
- We organized and facilitated highly insightful conversations among senior IT executives on a variety of topics including Big Data, Location Intelligence, and Information Security
- One of our principals (Nasheen) was honoured by “The Hot Momma’s Project”, a global case library of women mentors and role-models
- We made a great many friends in both the CIO and vendor community. It’s been a pleasure to work with them all, and we hope we’ve contributed to their success, even as they contributed to ours.
A toast to your support and friendship as we look forward to another mutually successful year ahead!

Having an AI advisor that provides recommendations based on your direction can be helpful. But an expert actor that can make decisions and operate with minimal human intervention is even more powerful.
Insights from Nasheen Liu on the AI Future Leaders Podcast.
AI is no longer experimental. It’s operational. It’s funded. And it’s expected to deliver. Yet a new global study from Hitachi Vantara reveals a hard truth many CIOs already suspect: AI success is being limited not by algorithms, but by data infrastructure.
Cyber incidents are no longer isolated IT events. They are enterprise-level crises that can halt operations, trigger regulatory scrutiny and erode customer trust overnight. Yet too often, planning for how to respond is treated as a compliance checkbox or delegated piecemeal across functions.
