2011 Conference 

 

The 2011 itSMFnz Conference and Exhibition will be held at the Pipitea Campus, Victoria University of Wellington Tuesday 7th – Thursday 9th June 2011.

 

The theme this year is “Clever People Doing Clever Things” and celebrates initiatives undertaken by the great people whom we work with. It takes continuous improvement to the next level and offers a great opportunity to learn from the bright and clever things people have been doing.

 

Whether you are looking for general guidance, just wanting to hear what clever things others are doing and gain some ideas, or have a specific challenge in mind, we would love to see you there.

 

In addition to knowledge sharing, the conference offers quality social networking opportunities and an exhibition where you will undoubtedly save time by being able to find out about what's on offer all under one roof. More information on the conference can be found at www.itsmf.org.nz
