“What is unique about this event is the fact that technology leaders and innovators not only get the opportunity to listen to new ideas, they get to share their solutions and business plans as well,” said Chief Information Officer for Oakland County, Phil Bertolini, part of the Executive Faculty of the Michigan Technology Leaders 2006 event, who will be leading a session discussing Oakland County’s Wireless Oakland initiative. “By attending this event, technology companies get the opportunity to share ideas in an environment that would take them, in some cases, years to create on their own.”
The event guarantees a pre-qualified audience of Senior IT Executives for attendees. It also provides 30-minute scheduled meetings between IT decision-makers and Solution Providers. It is open to the first 125 people who register. Registration costs range from $250 to $500. Mitechnews.Com is a media sponsor of this event.
