BOSTON, Sept. 11 -- Former U.S. Senator Bill Bradley will deliver the keynote address at AMR Research's annual Executive Leadership Conference, the company announced today.

Bradley's keynote will describe how the pendulum swing in attitudes about the IT executive's role in the boardroom -- and corporate America as a whole -- mirrors American's attitudes about the future of their political system, as addressed in his book, The New American Story.

In addition to AMR Research analysts, executives scheduled to present at the conference include:

o Hong-Mo Yang, CIO, Samsung
o Mansour Zadeh, CIO, Smithfield Foods
o Donagh Herlihy, CIO and VP of Supply Chain Strategy and Planning, Wrigley
o Cathie Kozik, CVP IT, Motorola
o Terry Brown, VP of Information Systems, General Mills
o Keith Gregg, VP of Program Development, Kohl's Corporation

Presentations will focus on key issues facing today's IT executives -- from driving technology innovation to building boardroom credibility, utilizing business performance management software to avoiding architecture pitfalls.

Classroom sessions, held on the second day of the conference, will discuss best practices and industry tactics for practitioners. Led by AMR Research analysts, these sessions are designed to encourage collaboration and conversation -- allowing IT executives to walk away with the tools they need to implement immediate change. Classroom topics include:

o State of the Market-SAP and Oracle
o Serving the Office of the CFO
o Enterprise Architecture Planning to Prepare for Strategic SOA Deployments
o Critical Operations for Large ERP Instances in the Terabyte Club
