Last week, 20th April 2009, saw the launch of the first annual, HTG Summit in Dallas, TX.

So what exactly is HTG Peer Groups
HTG Peer groups are a group of IT professionals who get together and discuss best practices with peers in a non-competitive environment. We Discuss best practices around subjects such as Marketing and financials. The groups are divided up into 12 companies who meet on a quarterly basis on a 2 day session, and monthly meetings via the phone. There are currently around 19 groups worldwide, with our group, HTG11 based in the UK .

As a small but growing business, I learn a lot from the other members of the group, who have been where I am and have gone past a lot of the hurdles I am just crossing now. For ages I have been running as a “Life Style” business. Since joining HTG I have been taking my business much more seriously, thanks to the advice of my peers, I have already started to see the benefits by executing what I have learnt.

Whilst we were at the Summit, Aaron Booker, from Varvid.com produced a video about our group and has graciously given us permission to use it. To see more videos from other members at the HTG summit, as well as other events check out http://www.varvid.com/

HTG have adopted the Famous Thomas Edison saying of “Vision without Execution, is Hallucination“.
