If we could not meet them face-to-face\, we could chat on the phone or use email to establish a personal connection. That all changed a decade ago with the mass adoption of the World Wide Web\, and it was a good change. We could offer more services for less money\, but the customer connection changed. How do we build relationships\, promote our products and services\, and prepare for an uncertain and rapidly changing future?This conference will be unusual in that it focuses on several levels of technology leadership. It dives deep into leading edge technology because all information technology leaders must stay current or die on vine to be replaced by the next generation of technologists. It focuses on customers because they define the return on investment. Without customers we are out of business. Finally\, it focuses on an integrated approach to the problem with a facilitated discussion to be lead by technology leadership veterans.Featured SpeakersRobert SmithRobert Smith is the founder and President of Axcelerate Worldwide.
