Conference Program
You'll Learn from Your Peers
Continuing in the path of previous ISPCON conferences, the most important thing to remember is that this is primarily a peer-to-peer educational forum. The Fall ISPCON event will help you focus on your business, and learn from the success stories, trials and tribulations of those who already have. The majority of selected sessions will include case studies and real world, operating knowledge and experiences.
Topics We'll Cover
The topics and sessions listed below represent examples of content we've run or are planning to cover at the Fall event. This sampling will provide context for the kinds of attendees who should come the event, the exhibitors who would like to reach those attendees and the speakers who are able to lend their expertise to others as a member of the ISPCON conference faculty. If these topics matter to you, your business, clients and customers - you need to be part of ISPCON!
Watch this page in the weeks to come as the conference program begins to fill out.
