Overview and Mission
Technology managers now face the challenges of securing wireless networks, auditing instant messaging and providing business continuity for organizations that are rapidly decentralizing, or even outsourcing, IT operations. Hard times foster technology innovation and up the ante for businesses to stay successful and underscore the need for agile and responsive technology strategies. Enterprise Forum 2003: Technology Strategies for the Real-Time Enterprise is a must-attend event for the corporate IT manager seeking to negotiate these issues and effectively implement cutting-edge technologies.
REAL-WORLD CASE STUDIES
Speakers include IT managers from Fortune 1000 companies who will present examples and case studies, while exploring how organizations are developing a competitive infrastructure for e-business transactions. We'll also discuss how business managers, data architects, developers, infrastructure managers and data center groups are collaborating to create effective IT solutions for their companies.
ATTENDANCE BY INVITATION ONLY
What sets Technology Managers Forum events apart? First and foremost, we are a professional association for IT managers at mid-to-large firms. Our agendas are developed with the help of our members and aim to address specifically the concerns of the corporate IT manager. In addition, all of our events are by-invitation-only, and are open only to members or invited guests. See our requirements for attendance section below for more on who is eligible to attend our events. Also, no press is allowed at our events, ensuring free and uncensored discourse among speakers and attendees.
If you meet our requirements for attendance, apply for an invitation to attend below.
