TESTIMONIALS
From the 2002 Wilshire Meta-Data Conference with DAMA International Symposium

 #1 Data Oriented Conference
Ron L., Sr. Information Architect, Johnson & Johnson

Excellent conference overall and seems to get better each year.  Most of my Data Management "training" has come from attending this conference and hearing from experts & peers.
Chris K., Manager, Data Management Services, Washington State Dept. of Transportation

As always, this is the best place for IT professionals to network, leverage others experiences, and learn about the latest metadata-related technology and standards advancements.
Gail W., Technical Director, Oracle Corporation

Most practical and applicable conference ever.
Jim M., Senior Computer Specialist, Dept. of Veterans Affairs

The knowledge I’ve gained at this event from current practitioners has been empowering. A colloquium on Data Management doesn’t get any better than this.
Rita N., Data Analyst, Alltel

I have learned so much and been exposed to so much. I hope I can remember everything and begin applying immediately.
Karen B., Director, Data Management, Premier, Inc.

Several tools gathered for immediate use!
Neal W., Chief Data Architect, U.S. Air Force

Well organized, excellent participation by well-known leaders.
Carol L., Sr. Database Designer, Pepsi Bottling Group

My personal feeling as a data professional is that
I have no business NOT being here.
Bill M., Data Analyst, Defense Logistics Information Service

The most valuable conference of this nature that I have attended.
Joe T., Data Modeler, Dept. of Veteran Affairs

A long way from the UK – but well worth it!!
Ian S., Data Quality Manager, Ministry of Defence (UK)

Excellent conference to have a follow-up about the newest trends in data management. Worth a far trip from Belgium.
Allain D., Data Administrator, Belgium Armed Forces

The material and presenters were exceptional.  Like a kid in a candy store, I often didn’t know which sessions I wanted to attend most!
Wade G., Enterprise Modeler, Delta Technology

It was nice to get information about the theory or practice instead of the typical vendor product type of conference.
Lance G., DBA, Affiliated Computer Services – Govt. Solutions Group

I got lots of good ideas. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great presentation. Great food. Great Fun. I  hope to be back next year.
Vicky S., Sr. Manager, Dynegy, Inc.

As a data architect, no other conference is so directly suited to the work issues I face.
Carroll M., Data Architect, Carlson Wagonlit Travel

Publishing papers on the web prior to the conference was an excellent example of your customer service.
Lwanga Y., Manager, Data Architecture & Information Quality, Aera Energy LLC

What a fantastic opportunity to learn from the experts. My DM exposure is limited to a single corporate environment. It is difficult to learn or recognize best practices from a single point of view.
Sharon G., Sr. Software Engineer, MBNA

The conference is the best place to meet and network with like-minded data managers.  I always come away with something useful to my own company and position.
Cathy S., Sr. IRM Analyst, WPS Insurance Corp.

The conference was great! My first of many (I hope!)  
Kathy R., Data Architect, Cinergy Corp

This event is what I save my training budget for.
Dawn M., Manager, Data Architecture, Fair Isaac Inc.

Always an excellent forum for discussion and debate. Enjoyed it very much.
Michael N., DB Design Manager, IBP/Tyson

Solid event; lots of useful info. I have 37 items on my “immediate takeaway” list!

I was impressed with the relevance of all of the presentations.  I am taking several ideas back with me to use.

This is the only place to talk about data with this caliber of people. I’m definitely coming back!
