The engines are revving and we are getting ready to arrive in San Diego for TBM Conference 2016 next month!
Hosted by the Technology Business Management (TBM) Council, the TBM Conference is the world’s only multi-day gathering dedicated to managing the business of IT. Technology and Finance leaders from around the globe will convene to exchange ideas, share strategies, advance careers, and connect with peers between November 7th and November 10th. Over the course of the conference, more than 65 business-technology leaders will take the stage and bring light and learnings to many of the challenges facing our industry today. Topics and discussions include best practices for investment optimization and more balanced business conversations; increased transparency and the resulting improved relationships with business partners; and how TBM is an accelerator to cloud adoption and better cloud management. But that is just highlighting a small portion of the powerful conversations taking place!
Kicking off this year’s conference is Rob Carter, EVP and CIO for FedEx Corporation who will present Monday, November 7th in our evening Welcome Keynote. Carter will set the tone for the next few days as top business-technology leaders continue the momentum and sharing of the conference theme “Deliver Business Value in the Digital Economy”. Some sessions to watch out for are:
DAY 1:
- ExxonMobil’s Ulka Wilson, IT CFO, Arthur Borges, TBM Office Manager, and Chris Kiser, TBM Analyst will share how their TBM practice has advanced business conversations to focus on cost, performance, and value.
DAY 2:
- A joint conversation between two leading healthcare providers, Ascension Health and Intermountain Healthcare will provide insight into how they are each tackling the transition to consumption-based chargeback, and their reasons for moving from showback only. A truly insightful and transparent conversation!
DAY 3:
- A panel discussion that shares how TBM is the “Rosetta stone” for merger & acquisition activity. Including providing the financial transparency for processing the deal, guiding the organizations on how best to achieve cost savings and maintain data integrity as they join, and a record of reference which supports and communicates decisions across the two organizations.
- The TBM Adoption Series, for the 3rd year in a row, we will hold sessions which include a panel of TBM practitioners focusing on how to overcome data challenges, and how best to socialize TBM through the adoption process
In addition to a packed agenda of TBM learning, you won't want to miss the amazing evening events including the 2016 TBM Awards sponsored by TBM Council Alliance Partner and Market Leader, KPMG on Tuesday night, then Wednesday night a private yacht tour of the San Diego Bay.
