About the Forum
On September 14th 2017, we will once again be hosting our Kea Analyst Relations Value Forum at King’s College, in London to discuss the analyst market and the role analyst relations has to play in order to contribute to business success. If you are an analyst relations professional or an executive at an IT vendor we would love you to join the discussion and welcome you to our forum.
With presentations and panel discussions, this is a unique opportunity to:
• Network with technology analysts, analyst relations professionals, technology leaders
• Share best practices in support of your analyst relations in your company
• Discuss the changes within the analysts’ landscape
The overall theme for this year’s edition is:
“Changing Market Dynamics”
In the past, it was possible for an analyst relations professional to focus on a handful of analyst firms to cover a significant part of the research market. Today analyst relations professionals not only have to deal with a huge number of analyst firms but they must also consider the different roles (IT, marketing, management etc.) these firms are supporting in the market. This means that analyst relations’ are challenged to provide a multitude of perspectives, pitches and use cases to support the various analyst firms. It also means there is an increased requirement to coordinate (and motivate) internal stakeholder within the vendor company to contribute to the analyst relations efforts. In addition, new evaluation methodologies require different strategies to ensure a good positioning in vendor evaluations. The times where just providing the facts requested throughout an analyst’ firm RFI were enough to stand out from the crowd are gone. Finding and coaching references and encouraging-customers to participate in peer reviews are now also a key part of analyst relations.
The Awards Lunch
King’s College, London Strand Campus
AFA Awards Lunch:
Each year the Analyst Firm Awards (AFA) aims to recognize the most valuable analyst firms, and to recognize firms that have won a leading role in specific market segments.
The AFAs are awarded every year to top performing firms in 12 different categories and are based on the Analyst Value Survey. This year we will be congratulating the winners over a complimentary buffet lunch included in the forum and we hope to see you there to celebrate.
The Analyst Value Survey, which we have run each year since 2000, is the sustainable engine for the award. It reaches out beyond the analyst relations community and allows us to rank analyst firms according to the value they deliver to the users of analyst firm services. The awards recognize the leading analyst firms, chosen by the value delivered to users, in market segments which vary from year to year.

• Global
