1st Quarter Symposium
"Visioning the Future: From Foresight to Insight to Action!" is the theme for the 2012 ITSMF/HITEC First Quarter Symposium to be held at the Gaylord National Resort. The symposium includes 2½ days of in-depth discussions and small-group forums led by renowned industry leaders. Many of the Nation's leading IT executives and top government officials will be in attendance.

The event will kick-off on Thursday with an exclusive networking/welcome reception. Guests will have the opportunity to interact with IT Executives from many of the country's most successful companies.
The symposium's keynote speaker, Dr. Bob Johansen, Distinguished Fellow at the Institute of the Future, will draw from the second edition of his book, Leaders Make the Future: Ten New Leadership Skills for an Uncertain World, as well as from his bestseller, There Early: Sensing the Future to Compete in the Present, which first introduced the "Foresight to Insight to Action" model. During this interactive session, Dr. Johansen will share his forward-looking, ten-year forecast, but will suggest insights for today's work and life choices.
This Symposium will showcase a full offering of engaging workshops and experiences created especially for families – both yours and ours! We look forward to seeing you and don't forget your passport!
