As part of this, I’d like to give my annual F
or the 700+ participants at DATIA’s 2015 Annual Conference, I cannot say Tank You enough. What a great
turnout, what great sessions by the many speakers, what great products and services showcased by the exhibitors, and what great experiences provided by the sponsors. A later article will spotlight the
many exceptional experiences from the conference, but I’d like to share how wonderful it was to see so many people eager to learn, network, and create new opportunities. Tat is what DATIA is all about at its foundation—creating a forum for industry professionals to learn and grow. During the Annual Board of Directors Meeting, that was the focus when the various commitees met to discuss goals for the year. All meetings were filled with enthusiasm and excitement while working to develop plans on how to beter each and every member’s experience within DATIA. I don’t want to give anything away, but the coming year is shaping up to bring great benefits to all DATIA members.
