ECCMA is excited to announce this years ISO 8000 International Data Quality Conference will be our tenth anniversary conference, right here in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania at the beautifully renovated Historic Hotel Bethlehem!
The focus of this conference will be on the coming of age of international standards for creating quality data. The format of this conference will be similar to previous years. It will start on Tuesday with a pre-conference ISO 8000-110:2008 Master Data Quality Manager (MDQM™) certification workshop. As always, Tuesday evening there will be a short welcome reception for attendees to get to know each other and network with other companies.
The conference will open on Wednesday morning with an opening address followed by two panel discussions. Both panels will be focused on implementation issues; the first at the strategic level looking at the tangible benefits and the actual costs of improving data quality and the second will look at data quality governance, practical solutions to building and maintaining quality data throughout the enterprise. After lunch on Wednesday, the exhibition will be open to the public, featuring 14 selected companies that offer best in class software applications or services that support data quality governance or reporting. This is a unique opportunity to meet industry leaders face to face and to find solutions that meet your needs. The exhibit hall will close at 6:00pm to give everyone time to prepare for the ECCMA tenth anniversary awards dinner that starts at 7:00pm in the Grand Ballroom. There is a fee of $60.00 USD to attend the dinner and can be marked on your attendee form that you will be attending. The dinner will include a bountiful 3 course meal, wine and entertainment. You will be asked to present a dinner ticket upon entering the banquet hall that evening. The dinner ticket will be in your welcome packet you pick up upon arriving to the meeting at the registration area.
On Thursday, we are giving the exhibitors the opportunities to lead the workshops with 2 simultaneous panels of 45 minute presentations throughout the day. They are to present a use case that clearly highlights the process, costs and benefits of their solution. Anyone interested in exhibiting should contact Brittany Marmo at brittany.marmo@eccma.org as soon as possible as there are only 14 spaces available. The call for speakers for the Wednesday morning panels is open and anyone interested in participating should contact Peter Benson at peter.benson@eccma.org.
