The dial-in phone information will be emailed to everyone who registered. If you haven’t registered and would like to attend the phone call click here. The phone event will take place 8:00-9:30AM EST on Jan 7, 2009.
Come join fellow ZDNet blogger and world-famous CRM analyst and guru, Paul Greenberg, and me for an informal IT failures chat in Boston. Paul and I are taking the IT failures discussion into the real world for an old-fashioned town hall get together.
There’s no cost and you’ll meet other folks interested in creating and running successful IT projects. This interactive, unconference-style session will be fun and informative; Paul will serve as discussion initiator to kick things off. It’s not going to be lecture, but rather an interesting and engaged discussion among friends.
