2015 Conference Schedule

Thursday, June 4

How data-driven is your organization? Do you suffer from data silos? Are you unsure what metrics you need to be effective? We recommend you attend the interactive, pre-conference workshop focused on Effectively Using Data Across the Organization presented by Chris Tuttle, Expert Trainer at Idealware. This workshop will be held June 4 from 10:00-5:00 and will be followed by a Happy Hour Networking event at the Marriott Courtyard Chapel Hill.

Friday, June 5

Please see below for a list of the pre-selected sessions. During the opening session, participants may pitch an idea for inclusion in the schedule. Participants will vote and room assignments will be made for the Design-Your-Own (DYO) sessions. Have an idea for a session? Submit your DYO session.
