Track 500 – Firm Owners and Partners
For the first time, we offer a track specifically designed for firm owners and partners. If you’ve been too busy servicing clients (working IN your practice) to really run your firm (working ON your practice), then this track is for you! Have you abdicated your strategic technology decisions to an employee, or worse yet, a consultant? If your strategy is being dictated by others then you’re NOT running your firm! Sessions in this track are specifically designed to be conceptual and strategic rather than operational and tactical. These courses will help you retake control of the direction of your firm. Join your peers in these valuable sessions to learn how to manage change and survive the next paradigm shift.

You’ll learn about several products and services that can help you streamline your clients’ business processes as well as make your consulting practice more efficient.
