On behalf of the conference planning committee, I would like to present to you the 2011 Arizona IT Symposium. As the host and driving force behind this unique conference, we are confident you will find your experience to be beneficial through the information you receive and the relationships you generate.

It is our goal to create an event that provides an unprecedented opportunity for our region’s IT leadership to gather and explore new ways to maintain a competitive advantage in a global economy and allow collaboration across the region's Information Technology population. Additionally, it is the goal of the conference committee to create an event which celebrates Information Technology’s achievement and innovation taking place all around us in the corporate, government, and academia sector.  

This Symposium provides a tremendous opportunity for our region's IT community to gather and explore new ways to maintain our competitive advantage in a global economy. The ability to receive information on opportunities and challenges facing all of us and to capture actionable information from peers that we can apply to our own challenges makes this event rewarding and productive.

We hope you will take the time out of your schedule and plan on joining us on March 16th.
