While Gartner's Research segment operates on a subscription-based model with consistent high client retention, there can be some seasonality in its other segments. The Conferences segment's demand can vary depending on the dates and format of events, but it is expected to pick up with the return of in-person events and seasonal revival. The Consulting segment's activity can also be influenced by economic conditions. Historically, there has been notable seasonality in contract value performance, though efforts are made to even it out. Overall demand for Gartner's services is driven by the growth of IT budgets and the increasing business interest in new technologies.
