It is held at Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Resorts in Orlando, Florida.
CIOs and senior IT executives attend Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo Orlando.
It is most useful for CIOs and senior IT leaders setting strategy, since the agenda centres on agentic AI governance and staged autonomy roadmaps, and the sessions draw on Gartner analyst research. Hands-on engineers wanting technical training or small peer discussion would get less from it, as the keynote speakers include non-IT figures such as James Clear and Will Guidara, and non-clients can attend with a fully paid registration.
Gartner's FAQ sets the dress code at business casual, and comfortable shoes are advised since attendees cover a lot of ground between session rooms, the show floor and neighbouring hotels.
