	OVERVIEW & MISSION Technology managers face enormous difficulties in trying to implement increasingly complex networks. How these obstacles are addressed can make--or break--an organization. The challenges of securing both wired and wireless networks; compliance and audit issues; business continuity and disaster recovery; outsourcing; and responsive web services are only the few of the issues facing organizations that are rapidly decentralizing IT operations. In order to remain successful and retain a competitive edge, large firms must have agile technology strategies alert to the latest innovations and management tools. Enterprise Forum 2005 is a must-attend event for the Fortune 1000 corporate IT manager seeking to negotiate these issues within a large organization, and effectively implement cutting-edge technologies.
	REAL-WORLD CASE STUDIES Speakers on all panels include IT managers from Fortune 1000 companies who will discuss their own experiences in developing competitive and secure infrastructures. We'll explore how business managers, data architects, developers, infrastructure managers and data center groups are collaborating to create effective IT solutions for their firms. These IT managers will talk about both the problems they've encountered, and the solutions they've applied, as well as their vision for the future. You will hear on our panels only real-world examples and case studies from your peers who have actually implemented the technology they are speaking about. No analysts, consultants, or academics speak at our events. And no press is allowed, so the discussion is honest and revealing. Our mission is to bring together colleagues who are facing similar challenges so they can explore together effective solutions based on real-world implementations. Vendor presentations are vetted beforehand to make sure they are applicable to our audience and provide useful material for IT managers, not hype. There are no product demonstrations.
	ATTENDANCE BY INVITATION ONLY All of our events are by-invitation-only. Our events are open only to members or invited guests, who must be currently employed IT managers at mid-to-large firms.
