This "hands on" workshop targets CEOs and their executive teams to address key operation and strategy issues faced by all high tech executive teams. Each executive and their team will have an opportunity to share their best practices with peer teams and benefit from each other's respective best practices. Series sponsors have the opportunity to choose the programming and focus for one seminar throughout the year.
The mission of ATC's Next Wave Forum is to increase the leadership role of Austin's IT design community by facilitating open discussions of trends, issues and new market opportunities. We believe in a closely connected community that shares best practices, actively resolves common issues, freely exchanges ideas, promotes research and education, and generally supports one another whenever possible. From 2003 to 2006, the Next Wave Forum has hosted panels featuring nationally acclaimed experts, and features a networking meal. Each seminar may have three individual sponsors in addition to the Title Sponsor.
