ETA Advisors Network

Peers, Partners, and Advisors.

The Enterprise Technology Association (ETA) Advisors Network is an ecosystem of thought leaders, practitioners, and trusted partners, each an expert in their field. They have done the work, and they guide your next decision instead of selling you a solution.

How advisors help.

Education and training

Executive briefings and hands-on workshops on AI strategy, cybersecurity, cloud modernization and responsible technology use.

Partner matchmaking

Introductions to vetted solution partners through ETA's referral network, when you need them.

Independent guidance

Strategic advice tailored to your industry and goals, from AI implementation to IT strategy.

Who you'll meet

Experts in their fields, working side by side.

Thought Leaders

Speakers, researchers and authors who shape how leaders think about AI and emerging technology, and who bring that perspective to your team.

Peer Advisors

Business and technology leaders actively putting AI and emerging technology to work in their own organizations. They bring firsthand experience from the practitioner side.

Partner Advisors

Consultants and solution providers with deep expertise in a technology, industry or function, who advise, implement and accelerate with clients.

Advisors help with AI strategy and roadmaps, workforce training and upskilling, technology selection and vendor evaluation, AI governance, change management and adoption, executive and board briefings, implementation, and policy and regulatory navigation.
