In addition to the all new IBPL Advanced Training Courses,  IAITAM has added another educational avenue for its conference attendees in 2008. IAITAM introduces the 2008 Vendor Walk.  

For 6 years, the IAITAM Annual Conference has led the Asset Management industry by delivering real world educational tracks and networking events. Now take advantage of the market expertise of our Sponsors and Exhibitors who have implemented or enhanced existing ITAM programs through their products and services.  Listen to these industry leaders deliver an ITAM focused presentation so that you can hear first hand how they solve asset management program obstacles.

Each participating Sponsor or Exhibitor will make themselves available to Conference attendees during time slots designated either before, over the lunch hour or after the standard Conference hours Wednesday through Friday, October 15^th - 17^th.  After presentations are completed, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions of the presenter in a non-confrontational atmosphere to reap the maximum benefit for their organization.

Stop back in July for the complete list of Vendor Walk participants and time slots.
