CSIA Announces 8 More “Celebrities”
Now more than 60 Executive “Celebrities” are participating in the 5th annual CSIA C-Level @ A Mile High on March 10, 2011 at Invesco Field.
Denver, CO, February 26, 2011 --(PR.com)-- C-Level @ A Mile High is Denver’s largest technology networking event with more than 900 expected to attend. Sixty of those attendees are the event’s “Celebrities” – technology decision makers and influencers from IT departments or technology companies here in Colorado.

We also have one of the largest SMB technology markets, with more than 5,500 software, hardware and IT service firms headquartered here in Colorado,” explains Su Hawk, President of CSIA, the organization responsible for pulling this event together. “The drive behind this event is to promote Colorado companies and operations to use local Colorado companies as their vendors,” she continued.
