5 minute read

IAITAM FellowesIt was great to attend the IAITAM Conference in St. Petersburg, Florida last month, and thanks to our friends there for inviting us to be part of such a superb event.

There was an engaging and friendly atmosphere especially at the Beach Bash Opening (not surprising with a beautiful sunset and fireworks and sparklers for all), which continued throughout the conference with great networking and excellent keynote sessions.

There was a general consensus that the event did an excellent job of addressing current ITAM issues with a balance of practitioners and Vendors in attendance.

IAITAM did a great job of keeping things fresh with news of their international partnership with APMG-International for expanding its ITAM training courses globally, as well as much needed corporate light entertainment from Greg Schwem towards the end of the event.

The exhibitor’s hall also presented a great opportunity to see how the ITAM marketing is evolving through the showcasing of products and services. Overall the event was a great place to learn, network with peers, and meet friends old and new.
