COMMON 2013 Highlights
I was fortunate enough to attend the COMMON 2013 Annual Meeting and Exposition a few weeks ago. I will be relating my experiences in this month’s MMSA meeting. Come hear about:
- IBM Announcements
- Conference Highlights (and lowlights)
- Industry Trends and Directions
- A very special birthday!
We’ll talk about some of the sessions I attended, and some of the ones I didn’t. We’ll talk about some of the people I met, and which vendors did what at the Expo. Who knows; we might even take a peek into my swag bag. Don’t miss it!
