Cannes
While you might expect sunshine and posh shopping, the weather here has been mainly unpredictable, with downpour. Not only that, but yesterday, Monday, Cannes and the South of France suffered a power outage, which caused a bit of disruption as delegates arrived.

Given a backdrop of economic slowdown and recession, the Gartner Symposium in Cannes has kicked off with a sombre message for chief information officers and IT directors: rather than look at reducing costs, look at adding value. True innovation occurs when trading conditions are tough. The message from the keynote speakers is: "IT must innovate in this economic downturn."
