TESTIMONIALS
From Last Year's Attendees

“Some years, time and budgets only allow me to attend one annual conference, and the combined DAMA International Symposium and Meta-Data Conference is my choice for 'the one'.  This single conference gave me fodder for 3-4 initiatives which would improve my organization's data architecture; implementing only one will more than pay for the cost of the conference.  See you in San Antonio.”  Jeff Lawyer, Data Architect, Sears, Roebuck, and Co.

“Well organized; worth the long trip from Belgium.”  Samir Dawoud, Data Quality Manager, DHL Worldwide

“I only wish I could bring everyone in my company to hear all the good advice and success stories.”
