Attendance and Involvement Thrive at 2010 ILMA Management Forum
ALEXANDRIA, VA - More than 330 ILMA members and guests representing 137 companies attended the 2010 ILMA Management Forum last week at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego. Highlights included the incredible networking and industry educational sessions that are the hallmarks of ILMA Meetings.
This year's Management Forum had an exceptional lineup of educational sessions," said ILMA Executive Director Celeste Powers. "Updates on GF-5 and dexos(TM), the association's ethics program and advocacy work, committee meetings, our dynamic and compelling Keynote Speaker Jeff Espenship, and the ever-popular Infineum Trends session all drew in an impressive number of attendees."
New this year was a presentation on the Association's advocacy work from ILMA counsel Jeffrey Leiter on all the work ILMA has done on members' behalf this year, and what is planned for the future. This followed Jim Taglia's update on the Ethics and Branding strategies, which was one of the most talked-about sessions ILMA has ever had.
In addition to the top-notch educational sessions, the meeting had all the special networking events ILMA members come for year after year - receptions, breakfasts and the Friday night dinner event.
Copies of the Management Forum presentations, as well as a complete final attendees list, are available for download from the ILMA website. For those that attended the meeting, a survey is available for you to submit your comments on the meeting. Check your email for a special link to the survey.
