Houston IT Symposium
HOUSTON IT SYMPOSIUM
The Houston IT Symposium is the region’s premier single-day event designed for the IT executive community.
As technology continues to redefine business, geographic regions, and create borderless digital environments, it has become essential for the Houston IT executives to stay aware of global trends in order to integrate strategies into their operations. This allows your team to stay agile while maintaining your company’s competitive edge. The Symposium provides the region’s IT executives an opportunity to gather for a day of networking, collaboration, and knowledge-transfer through peer-led keynotes, breakouts, panels, and networking sessions.

Meet Keynote Speaker Tamara Kleinberg |
The biggest myth out there killing organizations is thinking that they need more change agents to combat status quo thinking. You don’t need more disruption. It’s happening already all around you. The marketplace, the competition, and the customer are always changing. Someone is always going to disrupt your work. What you need to truly win is change artists, people that are able to leverage and harness change to your advantage. People that are able to transform change from an unknown challenge to a known asset. That’s how you stop spinning your wheels and start winning in today’s fast-paced landscape. |
