Enjoy a luxurious Three-Course Dinner while you listen to presentations from some of the greatest minds in technology, headed by IDC's Group Vice President and IT Executive Advisor, Joseph Pucciarelli. The event will take place at Marble Room Steaks and Raw Bar, an upscale steakhouse in a historic bank building. 

Marble Room is a celebration of Cleveland's past. In 2017, the opulent old bank at 623 Euclid Avenue was restored and transformed into the one-of-a-kind Marble Room Steak and Raw Bar. It has a rich history that begins over 100 years ago. 

The bank’s lower level vaults, once some of the largest in the country, have been updated and redecorated to create an ultra-exclusive private party space. Bank executives’ offices have been converted to dining boardrooms and cocktail lounges available for private dining and parties. Antique fixtures and gilded tiles have been lovingly restored and are historic focal points of the new, eclectic décor.
