Senior Vice President at Fidelity Information Services.
There will be a second Keynote presentation after lunch
on CMMI adoption and the Software Engineering Institute's (SEI)
future plans for CMMI by Mike Konrad, author and CMMI Manager at
SEI.
The
symposium will offer three different presentation tracks to fit
multiple SPI interests. Attendees will choose from 18 different presentations given
by field experts with practical advice for both beginners and
more advanced SPI professionals.

are very excited to be co-hosting this event again," said
